ComediHa! is producing the series About Anthony
Produced by ComediHa!, in collaboration with Quebecor Content, the series About Anthony has wrapped its 34-day shoot in Quebec City. The team is now preparing for the Quebec broadcast, set to launch in 2023 on Club Illico.  About Anthony is already attracting foreign interest, with French film studio Gaumont having acquired
the show format for adaptation. Discussions are also underway with companies in the UK, US, Brazil and Germany.

This original series featuring 10 30-minute episodes brings together internationally renowned director Podz (Lupin, Vikings, Cardinal, Mafia inc., Minuit le soir, 19-2, Three Pines) and celebrated actor Claude Legault.
Cathleen Rouleau wrote the fictional series, which is inspired by her own life, while Benoit Pelletier is the script editor.
Cathleen Rouleau, who is Antoine’s stepmother in real life, plays herself in the role. The same is true of Antoine Parent-Bédard, the only person in the world who could
portray Anthony’s character so profoundly. This marks the first time in a Quebec series that such an important role is being played by a teen with multiple disabilities.

The show tackles authenticity, sensitivity, humour and a rarely explored theme in fiction: life with a severely disabled child. Audiences get a front-row seat into the daily life of this special family with all the quirks, highs and lows it entails.
