NEW YORK and TORONTO – Blue Ant’s Bite TV is the Canadian home for the new comedy sci-fi adventure SOS: Save Our Skins.
A UK-Canada co-production produced by Steve Coogan and Henry Normal’s Baby Cow Productions in the UK and Duopoly, Farmhouse Productions and Smiley Guy Studios in Canada, the show is delivered as four television half-hours, 13 x 7-minute webisodes and a 90-minute movie. Bite TV will air the four half-hour episodes back-to-back on April 5 starting at 9:00 PM ET.
SOS: Save Our Skins is the tale of two hapless British geeks who wake up in New York City only to find that the entire human race has vanished. But as they explore the seemingly empty world before them, Ben and Stephen soon realize they’re not alone after all. A sci-fi, comedy and horror homage, SOS: Save Our Skins sends Ben and Stephen on a desperate journey to find their loved ones, escape the jaws of death and work out why they’re one of the few remaining people on Earth. But the answer to the mystery is bigger, crazier and more apocalyptic than they could ever have imagined, and puts the fate of the planet into their very stupid hands.
The film version of SOS: Save Our Skins premiered at the 39th Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival in February, and is slated to screen at the International Horror and Sci-fi Film Festival in Phoenix, the Sci-Fi London Film Festival, and the St. Tropez International Film Festival.
SOS: Save Our Skins was produced in association with the Independent Production Fund and with the participation of BBC Worldwide in the UK, FEARnet in the U.S. and Blue Ant Media in Canada.
