Podzapper Takes Off with Podcasts for "ReGenesis" TV Series

Mobile media company's production of "ReGenesis:ReMixed" for Shaftesbury Films marks the first Canadian dramatic series to create podcasts

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) August 25, 2005 -- Creative mobile media company Podzapper Inc. is officially launching on August 29th with its first project, "ReGenesis:ReMixed", a weekly series of podcasts based on Shaftesbury Films' one-hour television drama series ReGenesis. It is the first dramatic series in Canada to have podcasts associated with it.

Podcasting has come onto the scene so quickly that in many ways it still needs to find its own voice, and the ReGenesis:ReMixed project delivers something new to the medium -a focused and creative direction.

"Podzapper is joining a wave that's melding art, entertainment, and information in exciting new ways. Whether it's podcasting, mobisodes, or any number of new applications that are either here or on the horizon, growing the vision that we have for this company and our clients is going to be profitable and a lot of fun," says Ron Proulx, head of Podzapper as well Arpix Media which music supervises the series.

Head of Operations at Podzapper Sebastien Chorney adds, "ReGenesis:ReMixed is just one of the exciting projects that we're working on. We've also launched iNdie6, an indie music podcast focusing on film and television uses of music, as well as having recently begun pre-production on several other offerings."

Proulx continues:"Podcasting has come onto the scene so quickly that in many ways it still needs to find its own voice, and the ReGenesis:ReMixed project delivers something new to the medium -a focused and creative direction."

Christina Jennings, series creator and chairman of Shaftesbury Films explains, "We are thrilled with the idea of where the podcast will take the show. We jumped at the opportunity of working with Ron on his groundbreaking new venture."
