Today is the third day of the second annual Vancouver Web Fest down on Granville Island at the Performance Works. So many web series have screened but there are more today ahead of tonight’s Awards Ceremony & Gala. Vancouver’s Parked, a comedy web series about modern fathers, and a festival favourite with three nominations — for Best Canadian Web Series, Best Actor (David Lewis) and Best Director (Peter DeLuise) — screened Friday night.
And Vancouver superhero Nighthawk: Prodigal, starring wrestler Brady Roberts, screened on Saturday afternoon. The not-for-profit fan-made series is about grownup Robin who dons a darker mask in the absence of Batman. A cast and crew of 50 filmed in Vancouver over eight days to produce the four episodes. See VanCity Buzz.
