Maalox Commercial

This commercial was a project given to several students at Seneca College's Film & Media Production Centre, in Toronto. This production was unable to be submitted on time to the makers of Maalox, due to an unfortunate teacher's strike that affected every college and university in Ontario, in the Spring of 2006. But with almost no budget, a group of some very talented individuals were able to come together at 1 o'clock in the morning, in the gymnasium of a private school north of Toronto, and put together what you are about to see. After having performed as a villain in my last several films, it was very refreshing to be able to put my physical training and comedy experience to work for me. The storyline was written by three students at Seneca College. I play Mr. Heartburn - the rough & tumble type of symptom that was born to be despised. Along with his fellow symptoms, Mr. Diarrhea, Mr. Indigestion, Mr. Nausea, Ms. Upset Stomach and Mr. Cramps, they set to do battle with Mr. Maalox in a not-so-friendly bout of dodge ball. This all takes place inside the stomach of a man that needs relief, and fast! But they don't call Mr. Maalox "Mister" for nothing! I hope you enjoy watching this, as much as I enjoyed performing in it.
