Nigel’s next project will be a film called “Pushing up Daisies”. Written, directed and co-produced by Nova Scotia filmmaker Chaz Thorne, the film is a comedy-noir about a man (played by Jay Baruchel) who inherits a funeral home in in a small town in Nova Scotia where nobody is dying. He and his embalmer girlfriend Roberta (played by Rose Byrne) begin to murder some of the community’s misanthropic citizens in order to drum up business. Nigel plays Sheriff Knickle, who also happens to be Roberta’s father.

Filming begins in November 2006.

Nigel has just finished doing a pilot for a possible CBC series, called “The Border”, an intelligent, fast-moving dramatic television series, following the men and women at the front line of immigration policing. Based on years of documentary production and field research, “The Border” pulses with real life drama as the immigration enforcement officers make life and death decisions about who stays and who gets deported.

“The Border” is set to premiere on CBC in 2008. Further information can be found here.
