Working Title is a Canadian short film, directed by Ken Scott and Fred Jones and released in 1985. The film is a satirical mockumentary about a film director who is being interviewed about the problem-plagued production of his planned magnum opus, The Merchant of Venus, by a parody of Canadian television host Elwy Yost.[1]
The film premiered at the 1985 Toronto International Film Festival,[2] and was later screened at Toronto Film Now, an event highlighting short films by emerging local directors, in November.[3] Yost also aired it as an interstitial bonus, between the evening's feature films, on his TVOntario film series Saturday Night at the Movies in January 1986.[4]
The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 7th Genie Awards in 1986.[5]
