Web Series: ‘Geoffrey the Dumbass’

Geoffrey the Dumbass made this TVWriter™ minion laugh. Maybe even more importantly, not only is this web series by HeadGum Productions funny, its episodes are short. Bite-sized, you could say, which makes them perfect for watching while you’re taking a short break from writing the masterpiece that’s going to set your career on fire. (In a good way, I mean. Not, you know, burn it up.)

Thanks, HeadGum, for coming up with the perfect slacker candy!

Stareable, our fave website devoted to web series, gives Geoffrey the Dumbass 3 stars out of 5. I’d give it 4. What do you think? read article

But the thing about making films or series, particularly in the independent sphere, is that no one cares without them laurels.

These are laurels:

Web Series: ‘Welcome to Anhedonia’

We’re suckers for puppets and horror shows and early ’80s music, which means that we find Welcome to Anhedonia irresistible.
