Alan Schwarz

On this episode of Finding Your Bliss, Celebrity Interviewer and Bliss Coach Judy Librach is joined by documentary filmmaker and producer Alan Schwarz. Alan graduated with a degree in Mass Communications from Carleton University in the first year the degree was granted. He spent two years working at MTV-Channel 47, and then went to The Life Network. During his time at the Life Network, he noticed there were no programs targeted to women in the mature market. He discussed it with his Mom and Sister and they formed a company together and produced The Bubbie Break - A Grandmother In Any Language Means Love. The series about Grandparenting ran for five seasons. It was hugely successful. After the Bubbie Break, the team went on to Produce a documentary called CHASE K9 HERO about a Police Handler and his Dog, and Righteous Humour - A look at the role of humour when it comes to religion. When Mad Cow Disease stopped the export of Canadian Dairy Cattle to the United States, Alan left the production scene to work with his Dad, who was a huge exporter of Dairy cows, to the States and who was stuck with a large number of cattle. Alan returned to the production industry when his Dad passed away and then started working on new production projects. He is currently a partner in The Cultural Epicurean Network. It is a Food Network geared to the Black community in the United States, featuring Black Chefs and Home Cooks. Alan is also extremely proud of Tracking The Ten, about 10 Jewish Boys who had their Bar Mitzvahs in Oshawa. As well, he is very proud of his docuseries The Grandmother Who Tried To Save The World, about the successful run of The Bubbie Break and Marion Schwarz.
