Hot Pink Shorts: The Making Of
World premiere of a new series on OUTtv - it's a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process, through a queer lens.
It all started on a park bench one sunny afternoon, when Michael Prini and Nik Manojlovich decided to create a show on entertaining in the home. Buckets of paper, innumerable meetings and a skim through a book of synonyms and Savoir Faire was born.
The show was an instant hit. Savoir Faire won an award from the Canadian Cable Television Association in its very first season. It's had numerous Gemini nominations, topped by Nik's win as Best Host of a Practical Information Series. Even its website, www.savoirfaire.ca was the first ever to win the "Most Popular Website" award from the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.
Now, all 78 episodes and six one-hour specials of Savoir Faire are welcomed into homes across Canada, the USA and around the world. Nik makes an instant connection with viewers in multiple languages (some dubbed, of course). And it's truly amazing to hear from you - your comments and support are like those of a close friend. It's nice to know you’re out there and that even a park bench can inspire!
