Mark’s Project
Bed and Breakfast: Brett and Drew want to move out of their five hundred square foot condo and into a house, but no matter how many times they try, they can’t seem to win a bidding war in Toronto. When Brett unexpectedly inherits the family home located in a quiet little tourist town, the couple have a chance to live in the house of their dreams, but they also have to contend with life in a new community. With dozens of hilarious characters all portrayed by two men, Bed and Breakfast is a heartfelt comedy about being out in small town Ontario, skeletons in the closet, and finding a place to call home.
