Alright, show of hands. How many of you Internet dorks choreographed some sweet fight scenes with your friends when you were kids? Yeah, me too. One of the great college memories that I have was taking a fencing class. Fencing itself was alright, but for the final project we were supposed to put together a [...]
The web is rife with buddy comedy. Clark and Michael, Jake and Amir, Derek and Simon, and We Need Girlfriends all combine awkward showbiz, workplace or romantic hi jinks and an angst-ridden, but free-spirited backdrop of young adult life. What’s missing is a female perspective. Aside from a few exceptions, and unless you’re a practicing [...]
The product of years of friendship and previous collaborations, Looking for Grace is the latest web series to take a crack at the online marketplace.
The 10-episode drama, which has yet to bow online, is currently exploring online distribution options and is expected to run between six and ten minutes per episode.
“We have been in talks with some distribution networks, but we have not planned a specific launch date since we want to focus on completing the project and working with a network to help distribute the content,” Grace producer Chris Palsho said.
My Two Fans premieres today after whetting appetites with its juicy trailer (above), marking former Quarterlife bombshell Barret Swatek’s return to web screens. Swatek stars as 20-something Kate Maxwell who attempts to rebound from a recent breakup aided by two helplessly devoted fans. The comedy web series is the first project out of MWG Entertainment, which is headed up by veteran television and new media executive Max Goldenson (daughter of ABC Network founder Leonard Goldenson).
The series is created and directed by Lauren Iungerich, who had previously directed Swatek in the Funny Or Die web series Dating for Dumbasses. Todd Felix and Bill Escudier star as Kate’s two “fans,” Franklin and Teddy, devotedly picking up after her dating mishaps and other twists of life.
Dedicated Tubefilter scouts have discovered that the teaser trailer for Zerks Log is now available for consumption at Blip.tv.
Zerks Log, a science-fiction comedy web series, is scheduled to run for 18 episodes and is aiming to launch on Monday, March 16. True to form, the teaser trailer gives us just enough to set up the show – it appears to be a sort of captain’s-log format show that gives us the story behind a long lost space expedition – and just a hint of wackiness to keep us wanting more. Zerks Log is brought to us by Storyforge Labs, a new Connecticut-based production company, though precious few details about the show or the company were available. Why so coy, Storyforge? All we have is this:
Television and film star Mark Feuerstein (The West Wing, What Women Want) is The Hustler: a grown man with an intense hatred for children. Well, perhaps hatred is a bit strong, and his ill will isn’t only directed at children. The Hustler has got it out for anyone related to former middle school football coach, Bernie Goldman. For Mr. [...]
When Jason Nash couldn’t get his hippie wanna-be guru character, The Shaman, out of his head, it was time to find him a home. He created a new web series to give The Shaman a place to spout spiritual mumbo-jumbo and drive everyone around him crazy. The Shaman has been picked up by Atom and will premiere later this Spring on Atom.com. Imagine this shirtless sage as your new roommate and get ready for a wild ride.
Tubefilter asked Jason Nash about his Shaman, behind the scenes of creating the web series, and what his wife really thinks about the comedian in her house.
