Clattenburg's jump from music to television began with his co-hosting and production of a Halifax Cable 10 show,
That Damn Cable Show, from 1990 to 1993. The program featured on-location interviews and profiles of Halifax entertainers, many of whom were acquaintances of Clattenburg's through his band contacts. Wedged in between the entertainer segments were comedic three-minute clips that displayed his early talent for irreverent film making.
That Damn Cable Show was remarkable for its high production values despite being a local cable channel production on a shoestring budget and made an early name for Clattenburg in film production circles. Outgrowing the local cable television station, Clattenburg made the move to professional television production with work on comedy and drama programs at
CBC Television, including
Pit Pony,
Street Cents,
The Bette Show, and a variety of segments for
Sesame Street. His credits include the direction of music videos for
Gord Downie,
Len,
The Tragically Hip, comedy rap group
Three Loco, and, most recently, a rap video for
Far East Movement featuring
Riff Raff of Three Loco. In addition to
Trailer Park Boys and its associated films
Trailer Park Boys: The Movie,
Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day and ''
Trailer Park Boys 3: Don't Legalize It, Clattenburg also directed the films Afghan Luke and Moving Day, which were released in Toronto and Halifax on July 20, 2012, and the short film Crackin' Down Hard''. He is co-creator, executive producer, co-writer (along with
Aaron McGruder), and director of the
Adult Swim series
Black Jesus, which premiered on August 7, 2014. He is co-creator (along with
Mike O'Neill from Trailer Park Boys), director and an executive producer of Canadian television comedy series
Crawford, which premiered as a streaming video on February 2, 2018. == Filmography ==
