Our acclaimed web series “Assisted Living,” a comedy about a stand-up comedian Dustin (Dustin White), has been picked up for a 4th season by web tv juggernaut KoldCast.TV.  Fired from his job at a burlesque show, Dustin must rebound, but faces challenges from his new girlfriend Josephine (Heather Mingo), who has a few issues.  His only escape is the local coffee house that leads him down another road with equally crazy barista Donna (Casey Larwood).  Written and Directed by David J. Miller of ViralFilmVideo.com and Mindlight Films, Assisted Living marks his second web series (Pitchman) after producing several feature films including “RiffRaff” “Welcome Back To The Barrio” “Finding Preet” and “Once Upon A Time In The Hood.”

We’ve been given a new rating tag for our webseries Assisted Living by KoldCast.tv and started using it with episode 23 titled “Douchebags with Money are Hilarious.”  This particular episode features Dustins first night working at the Lakeshore Theater as a comic mc for a burlesque show.  Featured in the burlesque show is Natasha Minsk, Wham Bam Pam, Red Hot Annie, Backdoor Aly, and Barrett All.  It’s the first time that ViralFilmVideo.com has used the new rating and think it’s long past due, in the sense that now when someone complains about the content of our comedy show, we can say, “Hey, Didn’t you see the warning tag?”    Check it out for yourself @  http://www.koldcast.tv/video/douchebags_with_money_are_hilarious

Filming for Season 3 of Assisted Living is nearing completion and some of the highlights are starting to become apparent.  Highlights include Dustin (Dustin White) being hired to perform comedy at a burlesque show by Andy (Justin Jackson) where he is constantly surrounded by beautiful half naked women, including “Red Hot Annie” and Barrett All.”

With an overwhelming response to seasons 1 & 2 of “Assisted Living” pushing us, we’ve decided to create a third season of the show.  We’ve also added a new sponsor in addition to UnleashVideo.com in the form of KoldCast.tv who’s support for the show has been amazing.  The new season promises to be even more over the top and pushing the limits as Dustins’ character lands on his feet taking his comedy and his prowessness with the ladies to new levels.  In addition to supporting the new season KoldCastTV.com is also showing on their site all of the previous episodes from Season 1 and 2.  A preview of the KoldCastTV.com slate of shows is available at: http://www.koldcast.tv/video/this_is_web_tv

The filming of the second season of Assisted Living began the weekend of October 11th and 12th, adding another spectacular event to Chicago’s weekend that also included the Chicago Marathon and Country Music Festival.  By critical demand, Season 2 continues to follow “Dustin” on his awkward journey to find himself that finally begins to bear fruit.

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged on the ViralFilmVideo.com site.  A re-designed website, several new projects started and completed, a presidential Election and a few other exciting things have happened.  We’ve also seen a few other potential projects slip between our fingers, but I’d rather focus on the positive.   The new office space on 18th is pretty much finished, except for the painting of some  of the trim around the doors, a little electric work that I’m waiting on budget clearance and finishing the mystery room adjacent to my office.  If you haven’t seen it yet it’s about 20 feet by 20 feet, perfect for so many purposes but most recently and currently a storage room for all of the supplies and equipment from the move.  As each week goes by we take a few things out and see some of the potential of the space.  Recently, when the storage closet was finished all of the office supplies moved out and even more potential exposed.  Eventually the room, that still has a pass through to my office will be most likely rented to someone in the industry, but in the mean time, we’ll likely finish the room and create a set for a new set of videos.  The videos, which are still in the planning stage take place in an office setting, but are more original than the setting suggests.  More news to follow.

ViralFilmVideo.com has completed a viral campaign for BraTherapy.com, a website dedicated to authentic womens’ issues concerning their bra’s.  What sounded like a dream job, turned out to be very entertaining, in most part because the clips, featuring stand up performer Julianna Forlano (www.JuliannaForlano.com) turned out great and she was as entertaining off camera as she was on.  The series of clips feature Julianna interviewing (mostly) women on the street and asking them impromptu questions about their bras.  A combination of light comedy and serious subjects that aren’t often talked about in public proved to be quite titillating.

The Web Series “Assisted Living” premiered in SitCom Pilot form at the historic Music Box Theater as part of the Chicago Comedy Pilot Competition. Following in the footsteps of “Pitchman’s” success at last years Competition “Assisted Living” was shown on the big screen to a captivated audience.  As luck would have it, I was not able to attend the premiere on account I was in Los Angeles, but word on the street was that the theater was packed and it received a fifteen minute standing ovation.

The ViralFilmVideo.com website is now drupal which allows us to update content remotely and add content including the newest viral clips without much effort. The new site will grow with content over the coming weeks as the construction of the site continues. This blog is the last remaining piece from the old site which will get a lot more attention and posts from here on out.

We’ve updated the ViralFilmVideo.com website this weekend adding over a dozen new pages, most of which display the new and old content we’ve created. Now when you link from a clients logo you’ll go to one of our new pages that shows the spots in better resolution than what you would have seen on websites such as YouTube or Blip.tv. This week we’ll add more pages and hopefully be able to list content pages for some of our previous work so when we have a potential client we can send them links to specific work that might better apply to their company.

Next up, we’ll try to get a better system in place for sending mass e-mails to advertising agencies and people on our mailing list. Hopefully HTML pages that don’t look too professional will start to get some results. If you have received an e-mail recently you can judge for yourself the results. To receive e-mail updates from us in the future send us a note with your info and we’ll add it to our list.
