Saskatoon-based Angel Entertainment will next month go to camera on Rabbit Fall, a 6 x 30 drama for APTN and SCN. Casting is still underway, but producers Bob Crowe, Wally Start and Jennifer Podemski have signed Andrea Menard to the lead, playing a big-city police officer stationed to a spooky small town. The Saskatchewan shoot will also provide a training program for aboriginals working on the project, providing mentorship and training.

The program ‘will help build our human resource capacity and introduce young Aboriginal people to the production industry,’ said Glenn Hagel, the province’s minister for culture, youth and recreation, in a statement. The series is expected to air in 2008.
