THE CREATION OF "The Challenger" - JANUARY 2012

             In early January 2012, the creation of the Challenger began just as Life Is Hell began and that was by watching TV.  Aramis Pacitto spoke to me one night about how all cop shows such as all the CSI, Rookie blue, Flashpoint and more, are all the same type of shows with different characters and the same story over and over again. Aramis and I felt that cop shows were done to death. "Andrew you know what we should do?," Aramis told me. "We should do a new type of cop show with, get this, a cop that stands for law and order and will do anything to stop criminals, even if it means to kill them." I liked the idea and he ran with it. He came up with the main character, who is a 6 foot 3 and was an ex-Green Beret who had a type of personality like Clint Eastwood from Dirty Harry and Jack Reacher from the novels. This characters name is Rick Sledge.

            The boss for Sledge was named Captain Mora. Mora is an elderly man who's first name isn't known (for now), and hes been in the force for his entire life and knows the ins and outs of the industry. Sledge is often question about his morals by Captain Mora due to the fact that Sledge takes the law into his own hands.

         Aramis had a first name for Sledges asssistant, Ronnie, but he didn't have a last name. Then while watching the Toronto Maple Leafs versus the Montreal Canadiens, we came up with a name based off of the Leafs defenseman named Gunnerson. We both liked the name and there he was Ronnie Gunnersson. "Ronny Gunnerson has just been newly promoted from Officer to Detective, he is Capt. Mora's solution to try and keep Sledge on the straight and narrow line of the law,"it says in The Challengers Synopsis. The comedic aspect is where I shed my light on the story especially when it comes to Sledges neighbours, Mr. & Mrs Johnson. With there one way glass and there tendency to spy on Sledge and watch his every move. They often complain about how Sledge acts and parks and they aren't afraid to call the cops on him. But the cops could care less about the complaints.

        That's all I'm willing to tell you for now. But be sure to watch our upcoming short Film on "The Challenger" Starring Aramis Pacitto as Rick Sledge and Andrew Di Pardo as Ronnie Gunnerson. Filming for the short film begins tomorrow and the final product will be released sometime next year.

THE CREATION OF THE LOGOS

"The Classic"  by Andrew Di Pardo

           In 2009, while working on the early drafts of the Pilot, I decided that we should make a logo. I had this vision of our opening title sequence where fire would go across the screen like Ghost Rider on a bike and then light up like a match that says "LIFE IS HELL." So with that vision I told Aramis about the idea and he decided that he could make the logo on a business card program. So with his prototype that looked like a business rather than a show, I added fire all around the wording, at the top, the bottom, the sides, anywhere you could think of. It came out exactly the way I wanted it to. Aramis agreed at the time, but as of late hes had a change of heart.

"Hell in Heaven" by Andrew Di Pardo & Aramis Pacitto

       So in September 2012, with that change of heart, we decided to do many different variations of the logo. The first new logo was done by me, instead of Fire around the wording I had overcast clouds. But we decided after some input from my father that we should not have the creators names in the logo. So we re-did the overcast clouding and we still weren't satisfied. So we kept the cloud concept and added fire at the beginning and end of the logo. It became a fan favourite on Facebook. But Aramis wanted to do more. So we did, we did some with fire all around the wording and we did some with just the writing. The one with just the writing was made by Aramis its his personal favourite.As for the Life Will be Hell logos, those were all created by Aramis Pacitto. So I think I'll leave it to Aramis to talk about them.

THE REAL ALMERINDO

Original Concept Art

      The real Almerindo is a a man who grew up in Italy as a child before making a move to Canada. He has a very deep voice and it sounds almost like a drunk slur due to his Italian accent.He works at two different Fortinos in Toronto, Ontario and he loves it. Every time he gets a day off he sighs and says, "I don't know what I'm Going to do here." So he trys to get as many shifts as possible, which is why he works daily. Whenever I ask, "Are you working today?" He replies and says "I work 8 days a week."

      His daily habits consist of going to work in the morning, coming home at 2pm, taking a nap till 3, cooking from 3 to 6 and then he goes back to work at 7.When its the summer time, he works in the morning, comes back at 1, goes into the garden until 3 or 4, cooking till 6 and then going back to work at 7. When he's not working he has a get together with his wife (Gina) and his daughters and their husbands, Angie and Angelo (along with me their son), Stefanie and Dino and Cristina.

    The get together is all about food. Almerindo gives you plate after plate. If you eat one plate, its enough right? Wrong says Almerindo. "You people don't eat," he sometimes says. In conversation, if we bring up food places like McDonalds he would say: "I don't eat that shit."  At times Almerindo may say things like "Ah Shut Up" or call people (like the neighbours who cut down his tomato plants) "A Piece of Shit." Thats the real Almerindo.

     The Almorindo in "Life Is Hell" is 90% the real Almerindo and 10% exaggerated. For example hes not a Alcoholic like he is in the show. He tends to have a drink every now and then but not to the extreme where he's overly drunk.

LIFE IS HELL (TV Show)

Life is Hell is Created by Andrew Di Pardo & Aramis Pacitto

Life is Hell is a heavy-hitter, containing both: a contemporary sit-com and a super-stylized/ realistic and yet humorous (non-satiric) take upon the espionage game with office antics and uncalled for wit in the field. Life will be Hell stresses and capitalizes, uniquely, upon the fact that these spies who perform extraordinary feats are normal people, vulnerable to love, fear, and varying personalities.^[1] "Life is Hell was a always going to be a different show, it's a reflection of me & Andrew--- of action & comedy," Aramis said."It was never going to be conventional, never going to be restrained to labels, or whatever else. Life is Hell tells the story of the past--- the comedy--- we than flash forward into my insistent brain child--- Life will be Hell -- the still light hearted, but fiercely deadly future. "^[2]

Enter New Show Studios

^[3]On June 18th 2012, Aramis and Andrew went to Pittsburgh to get interviewed by New Show Studios. The interview was about Life is Hell. "We met Chad at 1:00 in the afternoon and we went on a tour of the studio, signed contracts that stated we will not steal ideas from other shows and we had an interview with Tony from New show Studios. Tony asked us about our Pilot episode, characters and so on and so forth," Andrew Said. " Chad kept on saying "I don't want to tweak your guys own horn but you guys have a show like none others." He would say this in almost every conversation and every phone call and just now I'm starting to think it was to keep us on as customers. So once that was done, the next step (so we thought) was to pitch our show to networks. But it wasn't. This is when the whole project fell apart. Chad kept insisting on a $14,00 "New Show Concept Package." We didn't want to pay that money, but Chad kept saying we can't move on without it. So we told him we will let him know our decision in July."

The creators then decided to cut off all ties with "New Show Studios" and went solo. Life is Hell is now being considered by 5 companies and things could not look better.^[4]

Chisels & Guns - By Aramis Pacitto

          I'm sitting here on a shitty Saturday morning in October; listening to the Shadows - "Man of Mystery" --- the mood is set. Life is Hell was a always going to be a different show, it's a reflection of me & Andrew--- of action & comedy. It was never going to be conventional, never going to be restrained to labels, or whatever else. Life is Hell tells the story of the past--- the comedy--- we than flash forward into my insistent brain child--- Life will be Hell -- the still light hearted, but fiercely deadly future. Following Spear as he don's his navy suit, Desert Eagle MARK IX .50 cal & '67 Eleanor Super-snake, and his team the ex-model, sharpshooter, Riley Hunter, and the ever cautious, ex mercenary, Tyler Stone.
  

Aramis |Neal Pacitto - Co-Creator

        Andrew was reluctant to add this into our show at the beginning, but I was quite adamant, and insistent, standing my ground saying "Our show will break the boundaries, it will be the first show ever to be both, it will hit all audiences. And [I separated each word here dramatically] it. Will. Make. Us. Different." That did it, and from that point on it was supported by both of us and at this time, Andrew even co-writes them, currently we are both working on the season 2 episode titled: "Holy Smokes" a very good Life will be Hell episode [up there with the best of them, but don't tell him that].  It has always seemed that we were two brains separated, that work best when put together, each idea building, compiling into a tower that would never be as tall with just one builder. Perhaps that's the secret? One needs a partner whose brain is a replica of your own, but where he see's comedy I see action. However, the more we work; the lines of this distinction are getting very fuzzy indeed.
  

        Anyways back to Life will be Hell. Life will be Hell sends a full grown Spear and his team into the mix from everything to gangs, hostages, cloak and dagger situations, and high class casinos. They are a Black water team (Black Opp's) meaning they are not acknowledged by the CIA, so they get caught, they're on their own, out in the cold---as that famous spy expression is. They are not Spies but a team of highly trained fixers, they eliminate people who are meant to be eliminated, get rid of secrets or create them when needed and save people in bad situations. Situations where the FBI, CIA and everyone acknowledged can't & won't touch because it's too diplomatically sensitive. These people don't exist on paper; they are ghosts, not regulated by law or politics.          They    do    not    exist.
 

          We see Spear as a young adult in this comedy Life is Hell world, we get to see how this life contrasts and has led to his future life in Life will be Hell via flash forwards. Independent of the Life is Hell, the Life will be Hell part has its own story arch, but it very much depends on what has happened in the past, Spear's past made him. And that's just damn cool to be able to spot these little Easter eggs that pop-up everywhere. So when you're done the series go back and re-watch it, and then see what you see--- you think Life is Hell? Life will be Hell, for damn sure. But of course I'm joking, not taking it too seriously, and it's very tongue-and-cheek, but that's what it is. It is what it is.  And as Spear would say- "Start Running."

NEW SHOW STUDIOS - April to September 2012

The Creators: Andrew (Left), Aramis (Right)

           On April 1st, Aramis and I decided to go on a hunt for a manager that can put "Life Is Hell" on the air. So I found a company called "New Show Studios."  I notified Aramis about this company. We decided that its worth a shot to summit it to them. So I went onto New Show Studios website and I submitted our show to them. They got back to us on April 18th .It was an early morning call to Aramis's cell phone at approximately 8:00 am. Aramis answered the phone and was surprised to hear that it was about "Life Is Hell." Aramis had no idea who he was talking to and he didn't care because it was about "Life Is Hell."So at the end of the phone call, Aramis had set a over the phone meeting with the unidentified man for 2:45 pm on April 19th.

         So Aramis came over to my house the following day for the meeting, not knowing who we are meeting with or what its about. The only thing we knew was that it had something to do with "Life Is Hell."  Before the call came in, I had thought since we don't have any experience in the TV show field that we get my mom, Angela (a project manager at TD Bank) to sit in on the call with us.It was 2:45 pm on the dot and the phone rang. The unidentified man on the other line was Chad Murray from New Show Studios. He called basically to see what our show is about and if we are ready to take it to the next level.

         He also got around to saying that his starting fee to work with us was $795. It was not a bad price compared to other companies. so after the call ended at about 3:40 pm we sat down to talk about the price. Angela said that we shouldn't rush to make a decision and Aramis agreed. So we sat on it for a few days and think long and hard before we jump into anything. To be honest I got a little excited and I wanted to sign him as soon as possible, but the right thing to do was to think before we act and thats what we did. By April 25th, we had decided to sign Chad to this 4 month contract. Chad's job was to find out which networks our show can go on, see what genre it falls under and see what age group it apply's to.

         What Chad also needed from us was to take a trip down to the studio (which is in Pittsburgh) to sign more contracts and interviews. So we decided to go to Pittsburgh in June. But before that time came around we would touch base with Chad weekly. Most of our conversations with Chad were very meaningless. Chad mostly called us to tell us stories about how his kids like baseballs and make more appointments. On June 17th we drove down to Pittsburgh and met with Chad Murray on the 18th. We met Chad at 1:00 in the afternoon and we went on a tour of the studio, signed contracts that stated we will not steal ideas from other shows and we had an interview with Tony from New show Studios.

        Tony asked us about our Pilot episode, characters and so on and so forth. Chad kept on saying "I don't want to tweak your guys own horn but you guys have a show like none others." He would say this in almost every conversation and every phone call and just now I'm starting to think it was to keep us on as customers. So once that was done, the next step (so we thought) was to pitch our show to networks. But it wasn't. This is when the whole project fell apart. Chad kept insisting on a $14,000 "New Show Concept Package." We didn't want to pay that money, but Chad kept saying we can't move on without it. So we told him we will let him know our decision in July.

      Before our next call with Chad, Aramis spoke to his cousin Lisa (who worked on "Total Recall" in the editing room) about this package and she never heard of it. "This isn't necessary," She said. "I never even heard of anything like that."  It seemed to us that Chad and his company wanted to make an extra buck on something that is not needed.So at that point we knew we were done with Chad.So we spoke to him again towards the end of August and he wouldn't let us go. So we set a meeting with him for October 4th. But we knew we weren't going to do a meeting. So through all of September he was secretly fired until we sent him an email on the 21st.  The email stated that we were cutting off all ties with him and he services will no longer needed. Need some advice? I would say that if you have a show idea do not take it to "New Show Studios," its just a waste of time and money. I know from experience.

HERES THE PITCH - December 2011 to April 2012

              On December 20th 2011, we were finally ready to pitch our show to networks. But we didn't know how to do it. So while Aramis was finishing off a few more scripts for our First Season, I decided to do research on how networks work. I've done some reshearch earlier in 2011, so I already knew that you can't pitch a show anywhere in the USA without a manager. So with that knowledge I decided to look at Candian networks (Mostly because it's free). So I looked around and I saw on CBC's website a section of which you can pitch your show to. So I called Aramis and told him about it. He had changed his train of thought. "Andrew, We still still need to finish the Season," Aramis had said."We have about 5 or 6 left. Once thats done then we should take our show to networks." I agreed with him.

     So we spent the rest of December finishing off more scripts.  Then January came around and we still weren't quite done the season yet. We had 3 episodes to go. But I thought we should go ahead with the project and send it to CBC. "Aramis we only have three episodes left and it won't take long to finish, so I say we send it to CBC," I said.  He still wasn't convinced, but after a 30 minute discussion he had finally a given in. "Lets give it a shot," Aramis said. " I don't think CBC can afford us but we can try."

       On January 15th we sent Patrick O'Sullivan an email. We didn't want to wait for CBC  to respond, so I suggested that in the meantime we take "Life Is Hell" to Bell Media.  Bell Media owned channels like "CTV," "Bravo," & "Comedy." So we decided to send our show there. By Febuary our first Season was complete and we were geared up and ready to start Season 2.  After discussing this idea (which was presented to me by Aramis), we decided to wait until CBC and Bell respondes to our pitch before we move forward. A few eeks later it  was Febuary 23 and we recieved a response from Patrick O'Sullivan of CBC.

Email from CBC: 

"Hi Andrew,"

"Thank you very much for sending 'Life is Hell' in for us to evaluate."

"We have now had the chance to read and discuss the package, and I'm afraid that we are not going to be able to move this series forward for development. Certainly this is a creative series idea, but at the moment we're focused on finding 8/8:30 series ideas, appealing to a broad demo (but with a sweet spot of women in their 30s and 40s), with grounded setups and scenarios, relatable and familiar characters, and comedy from character and small everyday situations. Unfortunately 'Life is Hell' didn't feel like an ideal fit."

"I'm sorry to pass this news on Andrew, but thank you for sending it in to us. Best of luck as you continue to pitch this series around."

Best,

Pat. 

       The following month, we recieved an email from Bell Media basically saying how Mike Richardson passed our show around to every executive producer in their company and that they couldn't take our show due to undisclosed reasons. What we tend to think its because "they couldn't afford us." Next I sent our show to Citytv. Later that month and they got back to us and said they couldn't take our show because they already had an action show called "Person Of Interest." So even though we knew we didn't get onto a Canadian network just yet, we still decided to go ahead with writting Season 2. We still had plenty of confidence in our scripts and we felt we were going places. It was now April, at this point we knew we weren't getting anywhere in Canada so we decided that we will give the USA a try. The only way to do that was to hire a manager and that is exactly what we did.

PILOT SESSIONS - 2009 - 2011

               After a very quick period of research, we went back to writing scripts. It was now August 2009 and we wanted to get a fresh start. So we decided to scrap almost all the early script sessions and start something new. The scripts we kept were the episode: "Pink Men," "The Playoffs Have begun," "Nightmare on pleasant St," "the Cable Guy," and "Tomato Tomato."  Out of those five episodes the one that stood out the most to Aramis and I was "Pink Men."  "Pink Men" was already on our original episode list as the pilot before "The Playoffs Have Begun" took the stand. At this point in time we already had 2 drafts of the episode and we were willing to re-work once more and make it be the pilot.

       From August to October we re-worked the episode up to where it was near completion. But Aramis and I weren't happy with it.  So we decided to put the episode on hold for a while and just work on the rest of the season. So I started to work on the second episode titled "The Maple Leaf." Aramis was working on the "Life Will be Hell" aspect of the show. By the end of November, Aramis completed three "Life Will Be Hell" and I completed the first draft of "The Maple Leaf." But we still wanted to finish the pilot before we go any further. So we once more looked at "Pink Men." We were still not happy with it. So the episode was scrapped.

       Then we thought about re-working "The Playoffs Have Begun." We looked at the episode and it needed a lot of work, so we scrapped that one as well. At this point we had no ideas for a new Pilot episode so I suggested that we take some time off from the pre-production of the show. Aramis agreed and we took 4 months off. It was now March 2010, we returned to writing. Aramis decided that we shouldn't work on the Pilot until we have enough ideas to make an "All-Star Pilot." So we decided to work on other episodes.  The one I was mainly focusing on was the episode titled "The Cable Guy." Our first draft of that episode was done but not well. So I wanted to get it right.

     Aramis had other things on his plate like the "Life Will Be Hells."  All the early "Life Will Be Hell" episodes that Aramis had done he had decided to scrap.This was mostly due to it being too much like the James Bond of the books. So we worked on a big  load of scripts over the course of 2010, but all of them were scrapped. We had then decided that we wanted to take the show in a new direction. So we took out characters like Adele, the Knight, Jackie and a few more. And we replaced them with characters like, Sergio and Papa Nicholas (both Friends of Tony). It was now the summer of 2011 and we were ready to write a good pilot.

      We didn't have a title, but we had a story. One of the stories was from our very first script that Aramis and I wrote titled "Tomato,Tomato." The story was about Almorindo and his neighbour (The Tomato Lady as she was called). The neighbour would sneak into Almorindos back yard and cut down his Tomato plants. Almorindo would get his revenge with the hose (As shown in photo below). The other story was about our other main character named Tony "the Big Man" Rissi. His story was a completely new and made up idea and I will not reveal it right now. It took us a while but the script was completed on December 13th 2011 and the episode is titled "A Hell Of A Pilot." The rest of the season was completed in just over a month. Once we got the blood flowing nothing was able to stop us from getting ideas and finishing scripts. So with a full season completed next stop was networks.

THE RESEARCH - June 2009

         In June 2009, "Life Is Hell" was put aside for a while. We needed to get started on researching how to write scripts in a professionally done style. Aramis was looking at movies like, "Batman Begins," "The Dark Knight," "Casino Royal" and many others. Aramis tended to look more at movies because he wanted to achieve a movie type style of writting for the "Life Will Be Hell" aspects of the show. I wanted to learn more of a style for comedy. So I tended to look more at the Tv Shows like, "Two and  A Half Men," and "Seinfeld." I even read parts from books on Script Writing.

       Aramis got the hang of this new writing style within a week. But for me it was a little more complicated. I just didn't get how it was done! All the bolding, the capitalizing and where you write the description and so on. It took me weeks and weeks, but eventually by the time July came around I understood the basics of it and we were able to get back to writing.

THE REAL LIFE TONY by Co-Creator Aramis Pacitto

This is Tony

     

      I'm Aramis Pacitto, the co-creator of Life is Hell, every Saturday you should expect me to write a guest appearance on this blog featuring my vision of what Life is Hell is- hopefully it matches up with Andrews...

            Anyways, to the topic at hand--The Real Life Tony Risi- that's "Risi" spelt with one "s" not two like in our show. See he was a latter addition to the show, almost impromptu, unexpected, just shoe horned into his first episode by me, which I believe was titled "Run-on." The real Tony Risi is my father's cousin, a 300 pound man, standing 6'1" , bald, glasses and just about the funniest man on earth.

            Tony Risi walks these roads without a care in the world, he lives down my street, pops in anytime he wishes, takes snacks for the road and moves on. Even just yesterday he came over and felt like having a chess tournament catered by my dad with cheese cake (as per Tony's request) and his usual routine of coffee. With a smile and joke, next thing we knew he was facing both me and my sister at the same time in a chess match. Telling us he'd been studying chess for four days straight for 4 hour sessions each day, a man with infinite time, no job, lives with his sister and quite the crazy genius, Tony occupies his time between TV & conning the local Coffee shop (Coffee Time on Young just North of Finch Station) for free coffees and doughnuts for him and his like minded friends. 

            So he beat us both within 5 minutes, checkmate with one of Fisher's so called "manoeuvres". He took his coffee and hoped on his pink bike & road off down the street.  In our show he's very much the same character always up to something new, some new scheme, new job or wacky idea. But, that's just Tony-- a jolly fat-man with no shame, a smile, a ball cap and his pink bike-- on an average day in the summer. As the winter comes around he goes into hibernation, you won't be seeing him riding his bike into the sunset for another 4 months -- thank God.
