"For three long years, Josh and Hilary dated, until they both mutually agreed that it was a terrible, terrible idea. Now these 'just friends' are back, and they're podcasting together. Look out world. This… is the Ex Factor."
Last September I convened a small group of actors and my producing partner to do a table read of a comedy web series called "The Ex-Factor". The series is about a couple who used to date before breaking up, but who now produce a weekly comedy podcast together with predictably mixed results. We had thought we'd be able to start filming in the fall or early winter, but then the producing partners fell through due to financial reasons, and I had to start over from scratch.
Luckily, the show was designed to be produced as cheaply as possible, and I had made a number of contacts due to participating in the 48 Hour Film Project. So I started to shop around for a new producing partner.
I'm happy to say that thanks to Malarkey Films, we're about to start shooting on The Ex-Factor beginning this weekend in Somerville. I'll have many updates to come on this blog, but if you are in the area and would like to participate, we could use extras for a few scenes and some help behind the camera. (Does anyone own a boom mike we could borrow?) We have a few scenes in which we could use extra bodies which are scheduled to film on Saturday, May 22 and Sunday, May 28 (particularly males to play dates and older actors for job interview scenes). If you are interested in helping out, contact casting@malarkeyfilms.com.
To keep in touch with us, like our Facebook page, and stay tuned for The Ex-Factor.
