"Family," a webcast sitcom
A few weeks ago I mentioned that Petal Films in Seattle put out a casting call for actors (unpaid) to appear in a YouTube poly sitcom. Now the first two episodes of "Family" are up for your viewing pleasure, at Petal Films' subsidiary Three Dog Pictures. Each episode is about 6 minutes long. A new one is promised every two weeks, for a full year.
From the site:
Oh, this is going places. Greenan says the show is loosely based on life in her own MFM triad. Episode 2 certainly had me chuckling. I'm gonna bring that one to the monthly meeting of my beloved poly discussion group this Sunday, where we can watch it sitting around in a circle. Luckily we know each other well enough that I think no one will take offense... I think.
Also, from the site:
Update: Miss Polyamory's (Beki Rosenthal's) interview with Greenan is now up; listen here.
The Kanawi Community's podcast interview with Terisa Greenan is also up; it's on the community's Polytics site. Scroll down to the entry for Dec. 13, 2008.

The first two shows are better than amateur video production but short of prime-time broadcast TV. (Hey, I don't ask for much, huh?) Some of the actors are first-rate, some you can tell are delivering lines. And let's build some plot and drama. Pick up the pace. You want viewers to come back, you leave 'em with cliffhangers.
Yes, it is good. If they work a lot more on the plot and drama part and it takes off, I could see a cable network buying it and throwing some real resources at it.
Hey, Terisa Greenan here - thanks for your comments! Stay tuned for intrigue and a cliffhanger in episode #3 of "Family" which goes up on December 13th! :)
Need a new set of 20+ episodes!
Go Prime Time!
