We receive a ton of tips every day from independent creators, unaffiliated with any major motion picture studios, television networks, new media studios, or other well-funded online video entities. The Indie Spotlight is where we’ll write about and shout out to a select few of them and bring you up to speed on the great (and sometimes not-so-great) attention-grabbing series you probably haven’t heard about until now. Read previous installments here.
This installment of Indie Spotlight is brought to you by Spreadshirt.
A new web series is using a unique presentation style to create the medium for its comedic squabbles. The show is called My Stepmoms & Me, and it animates the conversation between a doll and all the women who have ever served as his stepmom.
The protagonist-doll of My Stepmoms & Me shares his name with the show’s creator, Lex Singer. In each episode, Lex has a conversation with one of his stepmoms, which in turns reveals some secrets about his own life. These conversations are animated by Ken Siu in a sparse style that matches the show’s dry humor. In the show’s first episode, Lex talks to the woman who was his stepmom when he was a kid; their conversation spans from dog allergies to Bon Jovi, with plenty of jokes in between.
Right now, only a single episode of My Stepmoms & Me is available, but check back on the show’s Vimeo page to see new installments as they arrive. If Lex’s first stepmom is already this wild, I can only imagine how crazy the others will be.
