Aww Shucks

In October 2020, I was cast as the lead in a new TV series from Slippy When Wet Entertainment. We shot the five episode series, called Aww Shucks, over five days in Victoria-by-the-Sea, with an all-Island cast and crew. Aww Shucks is now airing on Bell Fibe TV1!

Watch the trailer:

Aww Shucks tells the story of Steph, mayor of Toronto By The Sea, who tries to bring life back to the tiny village, quieted by the Covid-19 pandemic, by organizing a cooking competition. The winner of the competition takes the keys to the town’s restaurant, and hopefully restores the village to its former glory. While Steph expects superstar chefs to participate in the competition, her rival Harry James has a different plan in mind. A chaotic and unlikely group of chefs descend on the village for a competition with some surprising (and hilarious) results…

Aww Shucks stars Megan Stewart, Rebecca Parent, Jordan Cameron, Cameron Cassidy, Graham Putnam, and Ryan Doucette. The series also features an all-Island soundtrack that includes music from KINLEY, Gordie MacKeeman, Joce Reyome, Emmet MacLellan, Sirene et Matelot, Jordan Cameron, Arsenal Mills, and the Mi’kmaq Heritage Players.
