Zeke's
Pad was produced as
an official co-production between Bardel Entertainment Inc., Leaping Lizard
Productions Inc., and Avrill Stark Entertainment PTY Ltd. The animated series features 14-year-old
Zeke Palmer, skateboarder and artist extraordinaire, who has an electronic
drawing pad that is totally WIRED.
Mysteriously wired.
Somehow, it makes Zeke's drawings come to life. So extreme things can happen, but for
every action, there is a reaction, and things just never turn out the way Zeke
had imagined.... Ever.
The program has been
pre-sold in English Canada to YTV and to Channel 7 in Australia and ZDF in
Germany. It has also been sold to Radio-Canada
in French Canada and Canal+ Family in France. The series is distributed through Bardel Distribution Inc.
in North and South America, the UK and Eire, and through Studio 100 Media in
the rest of the world. The program
was funded through the Canadian Television Fund, The Shaw Rocket Fund, and the
Independent Production Fund, and development for the project was funded through
the Canadian Television Fund, Telefilm Canada, the COGECO Program Development
Fund, and British Columbia Film. Additional
