Everyone has a dream …

Few have the courage to live it.

Canario is a voyage of …

self-discovery, self-acceptance … and finding your voice.

Canario lived in the large city of Seville, Spain… a place of bright balcony gardens and singing birds. He loves to sit in his cage in the pet shop and watch the other birds as they fly in and out of the cathedral across the way. Sometimes he closes his eyes and stretches his wings pretending to fly, only to find when he opens them, he is still in his cage … unable to fly and, to the quiet disappointment of the pet shop owner … unable to sing.

Each day he watches as his nest mates get sold. One night he overhears a conversation between his parents acknowledging the fact that he probably will never sing. Dejected, he finds his way to freedom through an open cage door. Canario is finally free to spread his wings and explore the unknown. Along the way, he encounters many kinds of birds, animals and a very special companion … “Worm.” Although he is plagued by self-doubt, the love and acceptance of a special few offer him the hope to persist through his many trials.

They help him to realize that each individual has a special talent just ready to be expressed … that each one of us has a place in the world. Based on a screenplay by Arlene Borromeo and Michael McDavitt of ARB Productions, Inc., in conjunction with Matthew Arnold of Circle of Confusion Management in LA, this enchanting story uses humor and adventure to convey the messages of self-acceptance, self-discovery and … finding your voice.

Twenty six completed television scripts that cater to the pre-school market and have been edited by Ms. Borromeo and Mr. McDavitt. The scripts can be easily adapted into a children’s book series, and Mr. McDavitt and Ms. Borromeo have already developed one of the scripts into a book prototype entitled, “No Two Are Alike” (*see pdf of book prototype), with beautiful illustrations by Ms. Borromeo. The project also has tremendous merchandising and media spin-offs, which can yield various streams of revenue potential.

Life lessons are priceless …

They can inspire, motivate and direct the course of a child’s future …

Bear, Bray & Brumble offers 26 life lessons with universal messages of … responsibility, healthy living, sharing, compassion, acceptance and love.

“How we go?” is often the result of “How we grow?” Bear, Bray & Brumble takes this philosophy to heart in a gentle, loving and compassionate way. These 26 television scripts educate and interact with pre-schoolers through a series of enchanting and entertaining stories. Each is infused with educational components, such as mathematics, science, music and art. Life messages, including the value of good nutrition, hygiene and adequate sleep are also highlighted.

One script features the importance of never talking to strangers, while another discusses families and experiences when divorce occurs. All Bear, Bray & Brumble scripts are multi-dimensional in that there is a theme brought about through good values and positive choices.

The last script, entitled “The Greatest Gift” is set around a holiday gift-giving theme. Its underlying message is that “the greatest gift of all is  love – love of others, self-love and self-respect.” Bear, Bray & Brumble is easily adaptable into a children’s book series or full-length animated feature film. It is a heartwarming addition to any pre-school library. Designed in sequence, they are easily adaptable to film or television.

ARB has developed a merchandising and media prospectus for “Bear, Bray & Brumble”, which is available upon request. For further information, please contact Mr. McDavitt @ 202-341-0111 or by email.

Television Treatment & Submission for Network Syndication

HOW MANY TIMES … Have you said, “I don’t have anything to wear?”

HOW MANY TIMES … Have you spent hours trying on everything you own without finding the perfect look?

HOW MANY TIMES … Have you worn the same outfit over and over?

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all shop on Rodeo Drive or Fifth Avenue to our heart’s content?
Sure it would! But inevitably that would take its toll on your mind and wallet.
The average family income is $50,000. Americans top off the work chart, spending more time on the job than any other industrialized country in the world. And still, over 84 million Americans are in debt. A stylish yet affordable wardrobe can seem unattainable.

BUT THERE’S HOPE. Fashion Cents is a new one-hour show bringing a reality check to reality television. When it comes to dressing and playing the part all it takes is your existing staples, a little creative styling, and just a few dollars to make it all happen.

And no one knows style better than fashionista, Chris March, finalist on Bravo’s “Project Runway.” As one of the rising up-and-comers, Chris knows a thing or two about fashion working with giants like Madonna and Cirque de Soleil. As host of Fashion Cents, he brings his magic by delivering amazing fashion makeovers for under $500.

Each week he’ll surprise you as he travels the country choosing a new makeover candidate, giving their wardrobes — and their sense of confidence — a needed lift. Our intent is to make the most of your hard-earned dollars as Chris transforms your image from “drab into fab!” By show and tell, he’ll mix and match, pitch and trash, and do a little shopping to make your existing wardrobe all come together! And to top it all off, he’ll bring along his favorite hair and makeup experts to add their finishing touches.

Fashion Cents is a “Quick Fix To That Wardrobe Glitch.” It’s easy, it’s simple and it won’t bleed your pocket! It’s makeover magic at its best! Created by Michelle Wirth and in association with ARB Productions, Inc., this new lifestyle, reality-based show has all the makings of a big hit. With “tie-ins” to a top discount retailer and A-list cosmetic vendors, it has the potential for wide demographic appeal to audiences ages 18 to 60.
