Press Release Author = R. Mercier, Mercier Films Inc.
Industry = Entertainment
Press Release Summary = That must be the most counter current series coming to TV this year, and yet, it hits a chord. Canadian Producer Jean Mercier created a small daily visual vignette from his poetry books and writings, offering it in a first series of 1825 original poems (or 4 years of broadcast) called A POEM A DAY from the service of the same name that he has been promoting by email and mobile phones for the last three years.
Press Release Body = The clips are a short but lovely 15 seconds each day. These little oasis of peace will also then be made available on DVD, wall paper, screensavers and more. It appears that it is only the beginning. Talks are underway for deals in the US, the entire Arab World, Israel, the Philippines, and Serbia.
So if it's all about content, here's something else to grab your imagination. Check it out at www.apoemaday.ca there is a direct link to a YouTube promo, where the poems are also posted everyday. "A Poem A Day keeps the doctor away" says Mercier.
It sure won't hurt anyone.
