Mr. Dressup: The Magic Of Make-Believe

Bonus: Rhys interviews Mark Bishop about this new Amazon feature doc

Rhys has been hosting a podcast for AIFF, the Atlantic International Film Festival. Also Jesse is showing his short film there! So here is a little bonus content!

We thought you'd get a kick out of this interview:


On this episode we explore a film that the creators describe as a ‘warm hug’. This heartfelt documentary celebrates the life and work of Ernie Coombs, the iconic Canadian children’s television personality who encouraged generations of kids to be their best selves. The children's entertainer who created and starred in the long-running Canadian television series Mr. Dressup, documenting his career and its impact on Canadian culture and entertainment.


We interviewed the movie's producer, Mark Bishop.


Mark Bishop is co-founder and executive producer at Canada's leading production company, marblemedia. Over the last 20 years Mark, and his business partner Matthew Hornburg, have diversified marblemedia’s content slate into becoming one of the country's leading and most highly respected independent production, distribution, and digital media companies. In addition to their impressive slate of scripted and unscripted programming, marblemedia also runs its own successful YouTube channel, marbleKids, and owns Distribution360, a global distributor overseeing a robust catalogue of premium television content from around the world.


The 2023 Atlantic International Film Festival is just around the corner, and with it comes a new line-up of films across a fresh collection of streams. This podcast showcases the voices of filmmakers whose work will feature in the 2023 program, going deep behind the vision and motivation for each film.
