A series of five-minute shorts about mismatched roommates — one of them, Old Nick himself — has gone to camera at the Canadian Film Centre through its TV pilot program. My Pal, Satan by writer/creator Dennis Heaton features Rachel Wilson as a ‘fresh-faced Pollyanna’ who happens to split her rent with the Devil, played by Jefferson Brown.

Their clashes range from mundane matters, such as toilet seat placement, to the cosmic.

Heaton (Fido, Blood Ties) also showruns, working with CFCers including producer Bryce Mitchell (For All the Marbles) and director Vivieno Caldinelli (Hotbox).

The six shorts are expected to be online at the CFC site, perhaps by spring, with hopes of snaring a broadcaster’s attention.
