Recessionize! For Fun and Profit! - World Premiere
Wednesday June 1, 2011 at 9 pm ET
60 minutes
Directed by Jamie Kastner
Produced by Cave 7 Productions in association with TVO
Toronto director Jamie Kastner (Kike Like Me) sets off on a black-comic road trip through California, Europe and Dubai to meet those who manage to turn the world economic crisis into opportunity. The quirky cast, at times funny, absurd and heartrending, range from kids at "Camp Millionaire" and Berlin prostitutes offering eco-discounts, to the owners of a French hotel promising a hamster experience. The present-day journey is interwoven with ironic accounts of the financial solutions people resorted to during the Great Depression.
Recessionize! For Fun And Profit! tells a unique, bittersweet tale that touches on the universal ironies of modern market-guided existence.
