During breaks in shooting a short film last night, I tried to catch up on
my New Yorkers. Damn efficient crew moved too fast for me to get through more than two, grrr.. The upside: one issue had a great piece by John Seabrook about YouTube commissioning original content for the site, and the future of television in general. Wigs, the webisode I just wrapped, and rapped about, is part of this initiave.
Google is very good at making offers we can’t refuse (e.g., Gmail, Google Maps,
searches for “all-night pizza delivery,” etc.). I received mine via the prolific director-producers Rodrigo Garcia and Jon Avnet. They’ve been commissioned—along with a number of Hollywood heavyweights—to create scripted content for YouTube (which is owned, of course, by Google). They’ll be added to the site’s current channels of original content, most of which are unscripted.
The series is called Wigs, and they feature, predominantly, stories about women. Rodrigo (the director of last year’s Oscar nominee Albert Nobbs) has spoken about the series to the LA Times and the magazine for the Directors Guild.
Actors in the series include Alfred Molina, Alison Janney, America Ferrara, Jennifer Garner. Real slouches. Mine was about speed dating. Surprisingly, it’s not a horror flick. Melonie Diaz plays a women who suffers through a series of five-minute dates, poor thing. I’m one of the guys, poor thing x 2. The release, er, upload date is not yet known. Stay tuned.
That’s the high praise from TV Guide’s piece on my Justified ep. They tossed out that bone
right after noting that I’m a Kentucky native. Hmmm.
Television Without Pity tossed me their bone of the ‘Lost Alumnus of the Week’ for the same ep.
I am awash in glory.
Ain’t It Cool News loooooves my upcoming episode of Justified. (Set in Harlan, KY, ‘natch.)
Sounds as if, y’all, that they had almost as much fun watching it as I did shooting it. Almost.
