McCafferty/Makiaris Make Entertainment Weekly
In an unrelated story, pigs have flown and Hell has indeed frozen over.
Hi everybody,
Jason here. I don't how many of you are aware of Channel 101
( www.channel101.com )
which is a website devoted to home-brewed 5-minute sitcoms, but Mike and I have been frequent contributors for the past several months and we've batted about .500 so far with about one out of every two pilots that we produced getting into the screenings in Hollywood.
We've been unable to crack the top five and have a continuing series there yet, but Entertainment Weekly came to do a story on Channel 101, and "The Jogger" (which was written by Mike and directed by me) inadvertently became one of two shows that they singled out from Ch. 101 (the other one even starred Jack Black) as being outstanding.
So if you happen to see this week's EW (with Harry Potter on the cover) on the newsstand, turn to page 43 for a great shot of Mike in action as the Jogger.
Here's what EW said:
"The Jogger: A single-shot wonder that inexplicably didn't make it past pilot, The Jogger tells of a hero who solves crimes, saves lives, and finds love...without interrupting his jog. Jogger and camera keep moving throughout the episode- no cuts. Neither 101 nor 102 viewers voted to give it a shot. Recount!"
If you'd like to check out "The Jogger", click the link below. Please be warned that it does contain a couple of small moments of mature language, so make sure the impressionable younglings aren't watching.

Check out some of the other shows at Channel 101 while you are at it. There's some really funny stuff.
Next month we're going to unveil our latest endeavor for Channel 101 which should be a blast. I don't want to give it away, but expect a lot of singing on our part. :) I hope you are all well, and be assured that we're thinking about you, albeit briefly.
Warmest Regards,
Jason |
