Show Tubes: THE REMNANTS
The Internet moves pretty fast. If I dare blink or put a find off until next week, the relevancy will be missed.
Shot during the writer’s strike last year, THE REMNANTS follows the lives of 5 strangers who’ve become friends in post-apocalypse LA. What I’ve gathered from this 11 minute pilot is:
- the world as we know it is done
- the means to this end is unknown
- there are critters out there that want to eat you
- bad things hide in post-apocalyptic refrigerators
- Ze Frank is a “White Devil” (but that’s only Winston Zeddmore‘s opinion)
John August wrote and directed this gem of a potential web series during the strike’s darkest hour. This may explain why everyone seems to click very nicely. It could also explain how he got so many fairly well known names to appear.
