I really am a believer.

Last evening I wrote the proposal for SCN Broadcasting. They've asked me to include a financing plan - that way they can evaluate whether or not we'll make it to the 13 episodes needed for a season.

Between the tax credit calculations and the licensing fee we are in really good shape.

The proposal looks good. What SCN was so jazzed about was the entertaining way kids were going to be learning about things. That's why it fits so well with what they are looking for. Shea visits with the Maoris, the Masai village, the Nubian village - it's a great fit. Once we have the SCN deal inked we'll be approaching the other public/educational broadcasters in Canada. (And we don't neet to pay out the 35% sales commission)

Unky Duck sent over the Egypt opening and it's just so captivating. Can't wait to see the rest of the show.

Denise is toiling on the NZ split - we've been re-working the script and the intro works really well. Shea will be doing a re-voice today to give Denise something to cut to. It looks fabulous - (we have the advantage of being able to peek at what Denise is doing from time to time which is nice to watch the progress.)

Ken is having an ongoing game of phone tag with HMV. As long as the guy keeps returning the calls - it would seem like he's interested in a sponsorship. Once we're signed on the SCN and any other public broadcasters we can aggressively look for other sponsors. Any ideas/contacts welcome.

Wasn't able to catch Joseph yesterday, but I'm liking the idea of getting the public broadcasters in Canada onside on our own.

Kumuka is working out a best case plan for 3 episodes in Asia in March.

I believe a real corner was turned when we decided to double up on the episodes. SCN had no problem with that whatsoever. Big thanks to Ken for his enthusiasm, commitment and for being such a great sounding board.

And really, a big thanks to the ensire SRWT (and Picante) team who've been an inspiration all along. Each one makes such a contribution.

What a team!
