It was a great experience when the CBC television's show Still Standing starring Jonny Harris came to town to do an epsisode of our hometown of Schreiber, Ontario. The crew of the show were awesome people that made the experience one to remember.
"Still Standing" is a mix of a comedy series and a reality series and features actor and comedian Jonny Harris. Harris travels across Canada to discover the hidden gems in small towns. He takes a heart-warming journey to find humor in the unlikeliest of places. He immerses himself into the town's culture as well as into the lives of its residents. He unearths tall tales during his stay before hosting a stand-up comedy routine to help draw attention to these small towns. (from CBC site)
They spent some time at our Hollywood Filane store location, and we talked to Jonny about some of my boxing Career and travels around the world, as well as showed him how we make some embroidered logo'd hats. My family also spent some time hanging with Jonny and the crew.
Some BEHIND the scenes footage in the video below
The show's crew also spent some time with my brother Mario driving around in the Filane's Canadian Spring Water truck through town on his deliveries. I'm sure the Filane's Falcons hockey team was brought up.
The show also joined my Father Cosimo Filane for our traditional family Sunday breakfast and he even sang a song for Jonny and the Still Standing Crew. - #forgetaboutit
