Canada-based commercial production company Brown has recently added award-winning director Jim Owen to its team. Jim has written and directed numerous short films that have played at various film festivals around the world. Most recently, his short film "Can We Talk?" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2010. Written, directed, and edited by Jim, "Can We Talk?" is about a guy who tries to dump his girlfriend... again. The 10-minute short was incredibly well received by audiences everywhere and won an Honorable Mention in Short Filmmaking at Sundance. 

Larry Charles, the director of "Borat", "Bruno", and "Curb Your Enthusiasm", described the film as, "Hysterically funny. Brilliant performances. Cuts so close to the bone that the laughs come at a price."
