Leesa Dean: Adventures of a Web Series Newbie #81
Pay to Play?
by Leesa Dean
So I was all set to go to the WGA East web series screening/networking event when…last minute they cancelled it. It’s supposed to be rescheduled but we’ll see when/if that happens.
So instead, I met up for cappuccino with Anne Flournoy, who had invited me to the event in the first place and we ended up chatting about our experiences as indie web producers and all that entails.
Anne has been in this game for a long time. Her series, The Louise Log, jumped off in 2007 (which was right when I started learning how to animate!) She’s now in Season 3. The series is based on a film she wrote/directed that was in Sundance and has gotten critical acclaim, plus she was able to crowd fund Season 3, which is impressive (especially in today’s climate). We don’t know each other very well, had met at a few web series networking events when Chilltown launched, she’s a big fan and we had been planning to get together to talk shop for about a year.
Peer Production: ROBOT, NINJA & GAY GUY
by Team TVWriter™ Press Service
TVWriter™’s pal Travis Richey, of COMMUNITY’s “The Inspector” fame has informed us that he and his cohorts (not mere “minions” cuz Travis is a much better guy to hang with than a certain LB is a firm believer in creative collaboration unlike some people we know) have begun pre-production of their hit web sitcom, ROBOT, NINJA & GAY GUY, for its second season, which will hit YouTube in 2015.
The series, created by Richey, along with Curtiss Frisle, is written by Eric Loya and Season 2 will be directed by Travis Oates and is a production of Siv-Art Productions. In RN&GG, a self-proclaimed “gay guy” struggles to live with his two unusual roommates: a curious robot and a gentle ninja. In Season 1 Ryan Churchill played “Robot,” and for Season 2, Bryan Lovell (Hollywood Dram Role, General Hospital) will assume the role. A talented musician and composer, Brian Giovanni, who composed the score and theme song for the show, stars as “Ninja.” “Gay Guy” is played by Travis Richey, (Sons of Tucson, The Event, and Pretty Little Liars, as well as recurring as Inspector Spacetime in Community.
Season 2 will begin with three special bonus themed dream episodes, ”Robot’s Film Noir”, directed by Brian Finifter, and “Gay Guy’s Musical”, directed by Bryn Woznicki, which have already been shot and are in post-production, and “Ninja’s Japanese Monster Movie”, which will be in the style of Godzilla and helmed by Jared Hoy. The post-production on the two in-the-can episodes and the budget to shoot the Ninja episode are being partially financed by a crowd-funding campaign launching October 23 on Indiegogo.com.
