24 actor Anthony Azizi is set to star in Cast Aside the Clouds, an Iran-set romance thriller to shoot in Athens, Greece.
The indie from director Mary Darling and WestWind Pictures will see Azizi play Farhad Khosrovi, a Tehran bookstore owner whose daughter Utab (Parmiss Sehat) attends a secret university aligned with the Iranian Bahá’í spiritualist faith.
After the bookstore is attacked, a hospitalized Utab meets a young Muslim neurologist, Dr. Sasan Naderi, played by Behtash Fazlali, and they fall for one another. With a romance between a Muslim and a member of the Bahá’í faith opposed by both of their families, their relationship is also tested when Utab learns Sasan has plans to go to Germany and she is arrested, imprisoned and tortured for being a Baha’i.
With Utab facing execution, both families must do all they can to secure her release, before it’s too late.

Six herds of bison (carrying the expression of a barfly at the end of a very long night), three foxes, two black bears and one wolf with a rabbit in his mouth. This is the account of all animals we saw on our 552-kilometer road trip across the Northwest Territories, looking for Larry Sole. Who is Larry Sole?
To answer that question I must take you back to the late eighties, to a time when Iron Maiden and Van Halen ruled, when the greatness of a man was measured by the vertical feathery grandness of his hair, and seizure-inducing magenta was the colour of everything. In this questionable moment in history, a gorgeous man named Richard Van Camp -- in the minus inhumane cold of Canada's north -- picked up a pen and started writing a novel about a skinny, self-deprecating headbanger named Larry Sole. It became an ode to the burning,...

CBC builds 'Little Mosque on the Prairie'
TORONTO -- A sitcom about Canadian Muslims called Little Mosque on the Prairie has been picked up by Canadian Broadcasting Corp., the pubcaster announced Monday. A spokesman said the show will be "respectful." The CBC has ordered eight episodes of the comedy about a fictional Muslim community in small-town Saskatchewan from its creator and writer, Zarqa Nawaz of Regina, Saskatchewan-based FUNdamentalist Films. CBC spokesman Jeff Keay said the comedy will debut in January and promised it will be a "warm, gently funny, respectful look at small-town Canada." Keay added that the Canadian satire was unlikely to provoke anger from Muslim Canadians, some of whom have been urging that their lives and community be reflected on Canadian TV. "It's fair to say this is a collaborative effort," he said.
