Since Yuri and Vlad Baranovksy have put their irreverent Hollywood web series Brek a Leg on hiatus, the brothers have kept themselves busy. In addition to working on finding funding and a home for their satire of paparazzi-fueled, celebrity gossip blogs and culture, the pair’s newly christened Happy Little Guillotine Films teamed up with Next New Networks to create a six-part comedy series showcasing a highly improvised version of important moments in technological history (the creation of the computer, video games, webcam, etc.).
