Blue Light - the web series

"Blue Light" centers on Mildred, a 1950’s housewife, who comes home to find people from the future talking to her on the television. The first season is comprised of six episodes. Season two will be shot in the summer of 2019.

"Blue Light" started as an experiment.

I contacted a number of actors who I had worked with in the past and gave them a scenario/event as the source material for their improvs, where they would video tape themselves over the course of several weeks as I revealed new information to them.

I came up with six possible causes for the events that launched the improvs. I fleshed out each of the six ideas so that each interpretation of the events could equally be justified.

I had anticipated that the actors would bring their personal beliefs to the improvs, with their beliefs dictating how they would interpret the events. I was wrong. Across the board, the actors opted for science fiction as the source of the events in question.

Initially, the whole series was just going to be the actors improv footage cut together. While cutting together their improvs and reactions, Mildred and 1956 Baltimore emerged as the best platform to present the actors' collective interpretations.
