As Cyn, Circus and Gilly (not to mention Spawny and the host of eclectic guest cast) breathed life into our zany world, I was flooded by new possibilities. I wrote episodes 7-15 in a flurry drawing from ideas inspired by our cast’s performances. I learned so much from watching them that I needed to see them grow. It became downright addictive.
Shooting a web series becomes its own lifestyle (especially when you live on your compact Technicolor polka dot and zebra print soundstage crammed with props, costumes and lights. But it’s so worth it.
Making a show is far more fun than merely watching one. It’s like being a child again, when playing was utterly unselfconscious and totally free-form. Anything goes, no creative holds barred.
Starting with episode 7 (coming soon—sound’s complete, music’s in progress) you’ll see a shift. Episodes get longer, more ambitious, more dramatic (sometimes more political being written in an election year environment and all) and more evolved.
We even leave the apartment upon occasion and include ever more “outsiders” to our world (some you’ll even recognize…) Surprisingly, we encountered some unexpected touching and even tragic moments ahead. Once or twice it dawned on us while shooting these heavier scenes – how does THIS happen in a lighthearted, rowdy comedy? It was exciting to arrive at these unexpected places.
We hope you stay tuned for the second half of season 1. In the meantime, if you’re new to our world, please check out episodes 1-6 HERE. Thanks!
