WITH the motto "We film anything", it is clear from the outset that Chandon Pictures is the kind of outfit not overly represented at the AFI awards.
WITH the motto "We film anything", it is clear from the outset that Chandon Pictures is the kind of outfit not overly represented at the AFI awards.
A struggling production company run by inept aspiring filmmaker Tom Chandon (Rob Carlton), Chandon Pictures is this week hired by dog tragic Helen (a wonderfully overwrought Penne Hackforth-Jones) to make a film tribute to her canine best friend Champion Charles.
Born out of a Tropfest short film by series creator and star Carlton, this 2007 series has all the tics of modern spoof documentary-making, including the deadpan delivery and its blessed freedom from laugh-track hell. It's easy to see where the narrative is heading but the ride has moments of comedy bronze nonetheless.
