Here at TVWriter™ we’ve long been disappointed by the lack of true art films in today’s theaters. Shorts like this definitely help make up for it.

Web Series: “Heroes of Color”
This series is so well done, so insightful, we at TVWriter™ just can’t say enough good things about it.

Indie TV: “Back Stabber”
It ain’t easy, this being human thing. But all is takes is a couple of minutes with the trailer for the Amazon Prime series Back Stabber and you know that creator Ryan Zamo and company are really working their humanity for all that they – and humanity in general – have got.
The series is genuinely indie, through and through, and the signs are there – uneven sound levels, uneven acting, uneven focus – but in a world of superficial showbiz perfection, this TVWriter™ minion found that to be part of the charm.
As Zamo himself tells it over at Advocate:
Web Series “Fix Yo Life”
Two of TVWriter™’s favorite not-yet-widely-enough-sung creative geniuses, Jesenia and Jenni Ruiza, debuted a new web series last week at Latina.Com. It’s called Fix Yo Life and unlike their previous Comedy High productions (Becoming Ricardo, Shlongologues, etc.) this one is more like morning TV fare brought to the web.
That’s a compliment, btw. Check out the ‘tude (and the production):
What can we say? We really like shows that make us feel good.
Crowdfunding: “Circus Town”
Love TV? Love the circus? Love puppets?
We here at TVWriter™ do, which is why we were so attracted (hopefully, not fatally) to this Kickstarter project called Circus Town, a kids’ TV series created by “Gina, Aaron, and Annie – two professional puppeteers and a film director/producer.”
