The basic setup is that even completely normal people have hidden and often dark desires, or compulsions, that are kept inside and never acted upon. Of course it would be a lot more interesting to find out what would happen if they did act upon them. And that’s where this series picks up. Three leads, three different compulsions. One of them is sadism.
Writer-creator Bernie Su said they are “trying to push the level of web drama to another level, one that is sophisticated and thematic with different levels of character development.” He went on to tell me that much of the dramatic series out there online aren’t clicking with viewers because they often drop the ball in some key pieces of the puzzle.
Su and producers Michael Tohl tapped an experienced crew to help pull this off. One of their first scores was veteran producer Robert Grand, who had line produced big-budget films like The Fugitive and Star Trek: Generations. Also brought on was AFI-trained director Nathan Atkinson and DP Jason Raswant.
Su noted that they are beginning talks with distributors, even considering releasing the series as an interstitial series on a cable network. We’ve seen a few of these micro-series nestled within commercial breaks before, and TNT had some luck wooing sponsors for them last fall.
“There’s very few web series that can draw in a TV audience,” added Su. “We think we can be that series.”
