The task was to take 31 actors and go from script concept to can, in 21 days, to produce 2 episodes for a new Web series - KAFÉ.
Working with a large ensemble cast from act4tv on this tight turn-around, the discipline here was all about teamwork. The scenes had to be trimmed back in post production to make 2 stand-alone Eps, yet still feature all the actors. In Episodes 1 & 2 we are introduced to all the characters.
This is Kafé Episode 1 entitled 'Game Up': Game Up explores spontaneous greed as we approach the season of goodwill. In the quest to get what we want, do we lose sight of what we need?
Episode 2: 'CHRISTMAS LOVE' is a succinct glimpse at love and compassion. Thematically it's about starry-eyed romance, sibling resentment, the parting of ways and acts of kindness.
Episode 3 -- Well, we haven't got there yet. We're considering Spring/Summer. Will Christine have a new scam? Will Phil propose to Vick? Would Danielle wreck their plans? Will Laura Mum seduce Richard? Will Vickie return from Australia... to find Ross has a new lover? Maybe you have some ideas?
We have been getting some really great feedback from people in the business with lots of good vibes and ideas for future episodes. Well done to everyone and all the best for the New Year! Susie & Tony
