S2 Behind the Scenes – Sharing the Lens
We’re just one week away from the launch of season 2 of Bob & Andrew. You can feel the excitement in the air, people are literally partying in the streets here in Vancouver. We’ve never seen anything like it. In a strange aside – a lot of Bob & Andrew fans also seem to be big hockey fans.
In our last behind the scenes look at season 2, we talk to Keith Opatovsky and Darren Borrowman about switching off as director from episode to episode. Look forward to episodes 3 and 4 of season 2, directed by Keith.

S2 Behind the Scenes – Location, Location, Location
While shooting the majority of season 1 in a 500 square foot apartment was a lot of fun. We decided to branch out for season 2. Among the branches we branched to were English Bay, Republic Night Club, Yaggers Downtown as well as all of our friend’s apartments. In fact, in order to be allowed to guest star in our show, we contractually obligated everyone to allow us access to their house as a location.
Thanks as always to Redbud Films for producing these behind the scenes docs.

S2 Behind the Scenes – Will the Reel Bob & Andrew Please Step Forward
Acting is an art. A fine art. An art that is not to be toyed with by the uninitiated. That is, unless your names are Andrew Menzies and Bob Woolsey and the characters you will be playing are basically yourselves and the lines you’ll be saying have all been written by yourself, for yourself.
In that case, fly at ‘er.
But how close are these characters the real gentleman themselves? Our intrepid behind the scenes documentarian, Jenny Wilkinson set to find out just that:

S2 Behind the Scenes – In the Beginning
Where does a web series come from, you ask? Well, in this particular case, from a sexual identity crisis coupled with a penchant for comedy writing and a pretty decent friendship. An okay friendship. A tolerable friendship? This is our first in a series of behind the scenes videos about the making of season 2 produced by the lovely Jenny Wilkinson of Redbud Films. Jenny’s a very sly documentary filmmaker and one hell of a likable gal.
This first episode takes us back to when we first imagined of world where Bob and Andrew existed. Well, another more comedic world anyway.

Sweeping the Mindchamber: Thoughts on Acting, Art and Andrew
I am not an actor. I am barely a writer. (I am most certainly a human being and a person.)
I do not make any qualms nor hold any reservations about my thespian prowess or lack thereof. I admire the craft. I respect it. Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, John Cazale, Jude Law… long have these men been my heroes of stage and sound.
When we finished filming season one of the acclaimed webbernet comedy spectacle “Bob & Andrew” (I play Andrew), I told my writing partner/confidant/holder of my power-of-attorney Robert “Bob” Woolsey that I was finished with acting.
“I’ve retired,” I blurted between swigs of celebratory ale on that cold November morning, “So fuck you and your fucking show!”
Bob was patient with me, and after the success of those first five episodes, I decided perhaps the world was ready for more of my astounding performances. Bob offered an expected “I told you so,” and then slapped me around a bit.

This Is Our Youth: A Scathing Yet Honest Review
I am a man of taste, of high regard within the theater community. I have read about many plays, and have seen several filmatic adaptations.
It was with nothing but great pleasure that I sat with to watch This Is Our Youth at the Havana Theatre this week.
The play tells the story of Warren, who after stealing $15 000 from his criminal father, hides out at his friend Dennis’ house. Written by Kenneth Lonergan, This Is Our Youth is modern warhorse of a script, that- along with critical acclaim- has seen many big name actors tackle its meaty limbs of theme and emotion. The current production features Sean Gilchrist, Andrew Baker, and Sydney Cochrane and is directed by none other than Robert James Woolsey.
It’s a period piece, in the sense that the play is so terrible your body will reject it and you will begin to bleed from your anus.
