Web series + dark theater + popcorn. There is really nothing like a little screening of web series with a few hundred fellow online junkies in one of Hollywood’s best theaters. Tonight at 7:30 is your chance to laugh (and possibly cry) together with a sampler of some of the best web series on the internet right now.
Sure, there are heaps of pretty amazing work out there, and for obvious reasons, we can’t screen them all. So this sampler of shows has some standouts from the Streamys, some newer releases that just hit the web, and some series even diehard viewers may have missed. Special guests like Kevin Pollak, Sandeep Parikh, Bernie Su, Illeana Douglas, Mark Gantt and more will be on hand to follow the screening with a brief Q&A with the audience.
Since October 2009, American Cinematheque’s Blows Up the Internet series has been taking the biggest and best in the world of online entertainment—like Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Funny or Die, Strike.tv, and Crackle.com, and blowing it up on the glorious big screen to sold out crowds at Cinematheque’s world famous historic Egyptian Theater. Join us after the show at Musso and Frank Grill for a drink and mingle with the stars and creators of your favorite web series.
