WEB-SERIES NEWS!

My web-series is set to begin shooting the second week of February. Our producer, who also happens to be the director, has made up the schedule, and it looks like we’ll be doing 47 pages (that’s seven episodes) in six days. Luckily, our cast is small and our locations are relatively few, so this shouldn’t be an overly optimistic schedule (knock wood).

I have to say that I’m quite pleased with the way this project has taken shape. Our first assembly of the cast at a table-read a couple weeks ago went quite well; everyone involved is professional, enthusiastic and eager to do a good job.

From my side of the fence: other than the director requesting a tweak of one brief scene, and the reworking of another scene to incorporate a bit of product placement, I haven’t been asked to make any radical changes. I’m sure things will be altered somewhat during shooting, but that’s to be expected. As long as it doesn’t get too out of hand (“The hotel clerk in scene nine will now be portrayed by a gorilla!”), I’m fine with that.

Of course, the final result of all our efforts is what counts most, so we’ll just have to wait and see. But I’m confident about this. When those 47 pages are shot and cut together, I think we’ll have ourselves an amusing, somewhat naughty little series we can all be proud of—a series that will find itself a loyal and dedicated audience.

I’ll keep ya posted.
