Press Release Summary = From Canadian Director Jean Mercier, now on DVD,
Family TV Series My Hometown hits a major chord.
This series is something else. Strange enough, some might call it surrealistic. It's
positive, colorful, warm, fun, endearing and quite unique. Welcome to the cozy world
of Canadian director Jean Mercier's My Hometown. A collection of 40 stories set to
please everyone in the family.



Press Release Body = Akin to a Normand Rockwell painting, My Hometown features an
outstanding cast of then young performers. Produced in association with YTV in
Canada, and shown afterwards on TV Ontario and the Knowledge Network in Canada, the
series was also seen in over 50 countries to date and was the incubator of great
talent, some of them now among the best of Hollywood's next generation. To name a
few, Jay Baruchel (Million Dollar Baby), and Shawn Pyfrom (Desperate Housewives),
Jamieson Boulanger (Eleven Summerset) and Amanda Walsh (Sons & Daughters).

The writing is funny, original, and somehow, the themes will always be evergreen.
Not surprising to know, the show has been very popular with school teachers and
librarians, but the kids love it too. In the world of My Hometown created by
Mercier, cultural diversity lives in almost perfect harmony, the police wave hello
and the life of a kid is about celebrating each other with the moment that you live
in. Perhaps, the series could act as a little reminder of what life and love are
truly all about, passion and compassion being delivered in each chapter with a good
dose of humour.

You will watch these shows over and over again. It is like taking a walk in your
favorite park. You will never get tired of it. Quite frankly, if you don't know it
yet, it is a real treasure gently waiting to enter your life.

The 8-DVD box set offers the entire collection of 40 episodes with free shipping
worldwide and encoded for your zone as well. My Hometown is available exclusively
