Syrian-born actress turns Calgary into a stage
Cast, crew of humble Go Fish all from the city
Spotlight Go Fish airs on Shaw Cable 10 on Monday at 9:30 p.m.
Ghazal Alnahas may not seem the likeliest of champions for Calgary actors.
For one, the Syrian actress, writer and director has not actually been here all that long. But it has been long enough to detect a certain frustration among fellow thespians in her adopted homeland.
"There are so many people like me in this city," says Alnahas. "They are disappointed. It's like they don't want to try anymore."
So in the summer, Alnahas decided to take matters into her own hands. Go Fish is a fiercely do-it-yourself TV series that will air on Shaw Cable, an ambitious comedy that loosely follows the lives of six women as they look for love and jobs in Calgary.
The actors and crew are all local. So is the story.
"I thought it was a good idea to bring this to the city about our life," Alnahas says. "Why do we need to bring in outside stories, or an old story, and not focus on the reality of our life now? It's comedy and drama. The comedy comes from the story, not someone saying a bad word and everybody laughing."
Go Fish was shot completely in Calgary in the summer, using 100 performers and crew members from the city.
