"The Making Of" Teaser

A popular format in both film and television, the mockumentary has never successfully made the leap to the stage until now. From the people who watched "Waiting for Guffman" and "The Office" -- and thought they were both pretty funny -- comes a comedy that'll make you wish you never found out what goes on behind the scenes of an independent film. The Making Of is a mockumentary that follows an inept film crew making a misguided documentary about the "untold plight of Toronto's poor" and who completely miss the point.

With a script devised by the ensemble, The Making Of uses all of the tools in the comedy arsenal to send up the documentary format on stage for Toronto Fringe audiences. The production includes filmed sequences shot on location at Toronto City Hall, and interviews ambushing local politicians, mayoral candidates, with a few surprise guests along for the ride.
