Nova Scotia Screenwriter Development Fund Invests in Purple Office Productions
January 21, 2025

Nova Scotia, Canada, January 16, 2025 – Purple Office Productions Inc. is thrilled to confirm support from the Nova Scotia Ministry of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage under the NS Screenwriter Development Fund for Clown School, a fantastic new comedy series created by Stephanie Nickerson and Cheryl Hassen.

The series features Anastasia Phillips in the lead role of Sophia Defries (41), whose mid-life crisis takes a comedic turn when she stumbles into a clown school. Sophia learns to embrace life’s absurdity while confronting her stagnant marriage and a house stuck in time. Amid the chaos of self-discovery and finding her voice, Sophia’s journey is as messy and hilarious as it is heartwarming, showing that it’s never too late to redefine what “adulting” means.

Already supported by a pedigree team of talented and experienced producers, and with Cory Bowles in the director chair, the series can now take yet another giant step forward. “This is a one-of-a kind property and a unique opportunity for Purple Office to develop a light-hearted comedy that has such depth and relevance to its audience. It’s everything that we stand for,” explains Cheryl Hassen, President, Purple Office Productions.

Purple Office Productions Inc. is a Nova Scotia-based production company built on the creative alchemy of its co-founders, Cheryl Hassen and Stephanie Nickerson. It combines the elements of imagination and creative vision with a raw honesty and authenticity to form original, well-crafted dramatic, comedic and documentary stories in which audiences see themselves, their beauty, and, in its extreme, the ridiculousness in our lives. The goal is always the same: to reveal, inspire, laugh, accept, let go, and feel changed by the incubated experiences we create.
