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.

The Bob & Andrew Show: Do Something With Your Life

Bob and Andrew have spent the last ten months working on their first feature film!

Directed by friend and frequent collaborator Darren Borrowman, “Do Something With Your Life” is a full-length comedy written by Andrew and produced by Bob (and gentleman Keith Opatovsky). Bob also acted as story-editor, which is an industry term that you shouldn’t concern yourself with.

It’s been a long road navigating outlines, script pages, pre-production, art meetings, gear-haulings, energy drinking, regular drinking, bro-mantic hugs, rampant cocaine abuse and the occasional full-on fist fight.

This week, Bob and Andrew discuss the process as well as recall their time spent in the wilderness some years ago with Terry Joseph Wharburton. Right click to download or listen in your browser below!

You can now subscribe to our podcast on iTunes and have it directly downloaded to your iPod, iPhone, iPad or iThermos. Wow!
