Our recent short film LOVE POTION is racking up awards on the international film festival circuit!
It’s a pretty impressive roster of accolades so far, from small avant-garde to the larger internationally recognized festivals. The verdict is unanimous: our little 15-minute short stands out!
We always thought our popular stage shows, written by Jeff Querin and Stephen Wayne, would make a fun film or series. Last year, we took the opportunity to do just that with our highly successful production of LOVE POTION NO. 9.
The result was a quirky, black + white film about a zombie outbreak in a 1950’s diner (inspired by Pleasantville and Happy Days).
We’ve now written a pilot episode and 10 episode arc off the same story and will pitch the concept later this year!
We’re doing the same with our other poplar productions as well. ARDEN HIGH, SUPER FREAK, MOONSHINE — all had multiple “episodes” on the 34 West stage. All are being developed into their own series.
