Temple Street Productions is sending Frank van Keeken back to school, putting the creator of its newest series to work this summer in a former Toronto public school to shoot Angel on Campus.

The tween-aimed series for Family Channel will film its entire 13 x 30 run at the unused school, which Temple has renovated for the shoot, redressing the classrooms, gym and lockers.

‘We shoot one floor as actual classrooms, another floor is our production offices, and on the final floor we’ve built all of our sets,’ says Temple co-president Ivan Schneeberg. ‘We’ve turned a classroom into a house, one classroom into a pizza joint, and basically used it as a mini studio.’

The comedy is targeted at nine- to 14-year-olds and follows an ‘angel in training’ played by Demetrius Joyette (The Latest Buzz), who is on a mission to earn his wings by helping make a high school boy popular. Dylan Everett (Booky’s Crush) costars, flanked by Wayne Yorke, Matt Ficner, Mike Peterson and Brittany Adams.

The show was created by van Keeken, who also serves as showrunner and executive producer. No stranger to comedy, van Keeken has written for Kids in the Hall, acted as executive story editor for Mad About You and executive produced another recent Temple show, Billable Hours.

He will also write the series along with Adam Reid, Max Reid, Roger Fredericks, Ramona Barckert, Conor Casey and Lyndon Casey. Don McCutcheon, Ron Murphy, Steve Wright, Michael Mabbott, Shawn Alex Thompson and Mitch Ness will direct.
