Do you have the acting chops to portray a blood thirsty vampire? Can you do the robot or at least some functional variation thereof? Can you feign the sort of desperation that says “I will tear you limb from limb, if only I could break through the driver’s side window?” If so, then the upcoming web series, How To Survive The Strange, a Cinema Suicide production, written by yours truly and local media master, John Herman, to be directed by John Herman, needs your skills.
I’ve been mum around here about this project but now that we have some dates set in stone and a plan, I can actually talk about it. We’re pitching the series in few words: Bob Vila, Vampire Hunter and the entire concept is a series of absurd shorts (2-3 minutes a piece) with practical advice for preparing for and surviving the many horrific scenarios that life may throw at you. Are you prepared the thwart a vampire attack during the summer BBQ? What do you do to survive the wrath of a backwoods campground slasher? Say your household appliances fail to perform their duty, do you have the extra sensory faculties to diagnose their ailments and give them a little telepathic pep talk to get them back to 100% and have your toast toasted? These are vital skills that a vast majority of the world have dismissed as “foolish”. Who will be the fool, then, when you apply the proper amount of current to the killer robot bearing down on you and later reprogram it to babysit the neighborhood kids? Won’t the neighbors be impressed? After all, robots are very strong and made of metal.
So here’s the skinny: If you’d like to be involved in this production, you are advised to be at Crackskulls in Newmarket, NH at 6pm on March 15th. Bring nothing but your bad self and maybe a little money to buy some of Crackskull’s fine coffee. Br prepared to portray either frightened humans or terrible monsters.
