DEPARTMENT OF PARANORMAL AFFAIRS: EPISODIC SERIES

The Department of Paranormal Affairs is a special branch of the government that deals with the day-to-day problems of vampires, werewolves, ghosts, goblins, and anything else that goes bump in the night. See the World Premiere of the Alberta-created, six-part episodic short form series, with cast and crew in attendance.

You know all of the monsters from scary stories? They’re totally real, but they’re just trying to get by like the rest of us. The Department of Paranormal Affairs, a special branch of the government, and its employees Jenny Hicks (Nancy Ngo) and Scott Power (David Feehan), led by Director Greg LeGrow (Donovan Workun), are the civil servants dedicated to dealing with the ordinary problems of extraordinary beings. Scott does things by the book, Jenny’s never read a book, and Greg couldn’t care less what either of them does – but they’ll all have to work together if they’re going to keep the paranormal world safe.
