HARDISTY CHOSEN FOR TWTWW!


After months of research and two winter treks through the plains of Alberta, a town has finally been chosen! Paperny Films announced yesterday that HARDISTY will be featured on The Week the Women Went.

The town’s abundance of interesting people and enthusiasm for the show convinced us that it would be perfect for the project. When we pulled into town on our last research trip, the Town of Hardisty sign had a message under it – “Welcome Paperny Films.” We knew that this kind of spirit would help get people fired up about the project.

Not that they needed that much help – at the town meeting, the crowd periodically erupted into spontaneous applause. A few fists even beat the air. Most people in Hardisty seem ready for the challenge. Many have been talking about what they are going to do on vacation, or how they are going to deal without their wives, moms and girlfriends. The show is already starting conversations about subjects such as gender roles, identity and Dad’s tendency to match red and pink - just what we like to see.

Stay tuned for more news.
