Official Idea Productions

Public Access: The Series

April 24th, 2006

So Alan W. Porter over at State School Productions and myself have started to put together a sitcom.  The general premise of the production centers around a cable access news show and the intertwining lives of the people who run it.  The idea came together as a way to gain experience working on a timeline, with actors, editing and the whole bit running like a TV production; shooting a twenty minute segment over a weekend or two and creating a complete show each month.  Our actual shooting schedule has been relaxed a little bit to accomodate peoples schedules, but it looks like it’s coming together rather quickly now.  

We’re shooting most of the scenes over at MTN in Minneapolis.  At the end of the shoot there will be five produced episodes and a documentary.  Hopefully, with a little luck and skill, it will make a nice showcase for our talented actors, directors, and DP’s. 

Check out the photos of our first meeting with cast and crew:

Shooting starts next month.  Should be fun!
