It’s pilotsville over at Tenner Paskal Rudnicke. They are working on "Stuck In The Middle With You," "Happy Family," "Once Around The Park" and "Touch 'Em All McCall." They are also working on two independent films: The King of the Tango by IFP winner Karen Friedberg and Broken Echoes. Commercial projects include spots for Simplicity Lawn Mower, Lakewood Homes and Hoosier Lottery
Claire Simon Casting sends word that they are conducting a search for the Fox/Image pilot entitled "The Break." They are also conducting a search for the ABC pilot "These Guys" and "The O.C."

And Brad Malow was cast as Haskall in the production The Immigrant.
Lily’s reports that there were commercials for Jenna Ford Jackson, Bill Onoda, James Chisem, Michele Vasques and Jimmy Guo. Industrials went to Karen Hess, Gene Honda, Olivia Palak, TJ Barber, Deanna James, Ashley Rodriguez, Dave Roberts and Gianna Civito. Voice-overs were booked by Alan Ferguson, Mark Forrest, Bruce Lorie, Bob Guy, Marty Peterson and Karen Yates. Client Chris Gehrke booked an independent film.
On the film front: Wicker Park is being filmed in Canada. Sure, we get a day or two, but Geez o' Pete! And nothing other than BarberSshop II is definitely set to shoot here. Scouting continues on projects such as Drunk Boat and the Dreamworks feature Terminal, but nothing has been greenlighted.
Peace.
