Ever Had An Awkward First Date?
Online, October 29, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Think(iT) Film Presents
So Awkward: Season One
SIX-EPISODE ORIGINAL WEB SERIES CREATED BY
Tarah Consoli & Elliot Joseph
So Awkward: Season One, a new addictive series being channeled on November 5th 2013 through Youtube from Think(iT) Film Assembly is a unique endeavor into the web world, combining improv and quirky original characters with heartfelt and truthful performances by its stellar cast. The series has a unique voice and possesses the type of unshakable cast chemistry and complexity that would be expected of a full length feature. Its comedic tone resembles the deadpan wit of "The Office," yet in contrast it's cinematically inspired by the artistry of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Amelie", beautifully shot by AFI graduate Colin Oh. The series soundtrack is courtesy of Mobygratis.com & upcoming London band SHEEN.
Starring writing/acting/directing team Tarah Consoli and Elliot Joseph. This is the debut production for the pair (based out of Los Angeles), who got their starts in the comedy/film and television scene in Canada and the U.K/New York respectively.
So Awkward follows Jeannie and Preston (played adorably by Consoli and Joseph), who are two peas in a pod clumsily trying to survive the perils of the modern dating scene while being thrown together in a variety of uncomfortable circumstances. They would be perfect for each other, if only they weren't so... Awkward.
