"'I got invited to the prom!'- Carrie White, Carrie"
Apocalyptic Playground
In a post-apocalyptic future, actors in black face go looking for a plot but instead find designer clothing randomly strewn about the desert:
The teaser looks fairly coherent. I watched all 7 episodes online yesterday, and by the time I got to the 3rd one I started providing my own MST3K riff track.
I know deathrockers & punks in leather jackets and stompy boots in post-apocalyptic wastelands is scliched, but it looks so much more normal and less silly than well-sculpted 20 somethings with fresh haircuts & perfect teeth in blackface.
Just wanted to chime in.
When I started A.P. we were working primarily with improv based on the worm holes and dirt (not black face) as if our characters had been blown back from some type of explosion, and memory loss. The whole thing was slow because of budget restraints (first episode was done for $30. Things grew as we went along over 6 months. At this point we are now being approached by certain networks about really taking it to the next level where I will bring out the full structure of the story.
So, I guess you can see A.P. as a "reel" that was meant to attract network attention and it was a success.
And those designer clothes... there's a reason.;}





lol I wish they had shown more in the teaser!
