    I wrote, directed and co star in this eight episode comedy drama first season and wanted to share it with all of you. Each episode is 14-15 minutes and you can watch the trailer at www.thespianseries.com Right now, I think we're only available on Amazon in the US, Canada and the UK but will be launching across other platforms in the coming weeks. This was a true indie project with a lot of talented people involved and I think the themes will resonate with people here. Mid Life, remaining relevant, career change... following dreams, etc.

    I thought the first episode was a little rough but it really improves and hits its stride in episodes 2 & 3 with some very funny moments and good acting and writing, looking forward to watching the rest, nice work!

    Thanks and, yes, while I think there are some great moments in episode one, if I had to do it again, I would've approached the show's "origin" story episode a little differently.

    30,000 minutes of viewing in our first two days. Have no idea if that's good or not but feels good nonetheless.

    I've watched whole season over the last couple of nights, I really enjoyed it. Despite the low budget it never felt amateurish, the great acting and writing kept me thoroughly engaged, the 15 minute episodes zipped along with some good laughs and subtle poignancy. I liked spending time with these characters and getting a look behind the scenes of what the lower rungs of the acting gig entails. I think you've made a good show there and wish you all the best with it, I'd happily watch another season.

    Thanks so much for saying that! We've been doing pretty well on Amazon and if you could share with your friends and maybe write a review (if you haven't already) that would be great. Really appreciate the kind words.

    We have quite a few teaser trailers. This is the latest and I think it's pretty funny. Especially if you love dogs!

    We’re all celebrities to someone. Or maybe this series will get us there.

    Wife and I were on a local Baltimore tv station this morning to talk about Thespian... You can watch it here. And, yes, my wife is very pretty... and brilliant... and amazing.

    If you've seen the movie "Eighth Grade" then you'll recognize my acting partner in this scene. He played the high school principal.

    That scene was really funny.

    Hey mindblanking I’m pretty sure I saw you on an episode of Veep last night ... for what it’s worth, I think Thespian is much funnier.

    Nothing better than a blooper reel. Here's a few from episode 6 of Thespian.

    Of all the things I wrote and we shot for Thespian, this dream sequence might be my favorite. It's really cool when something falls out of your head so vividly and then we turn it into something even better. This clip also includes a funny cd sales scene that this group will DEFINITELY appreciate. US and UK Amazon subscribers can watch here

    UK - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KCNZKSN And everyone else in the world can watch here- Watch THESPIAN the series Online | Vimeo On Demand We achieved a lot with very little and I hope it inspires others to make the stuff they want to make.

    For anyone interested, our show has over 75 reviews and a lot of people have taken the time to check out the whole first season. We've started shooting season two and I'll post a thread with a brand new trailer when it's ready. Thanks so much to everyone. Really proud of what we did so far.
