We’ve been quietly filming episodes of a new comedy series (webseries) that we plan to release fall 2010.  Still without a title, the show is a logical follow-up to Assisted Living and features an ensemble cast that revolves around a female lead.  ”Developing a show from a female perspective has been a challenge” says show creator David J. Miller, “I’ve done some research and learned that a lot of things are similar in terms of the comedy but may just be delivered in a different way.”  Joining writer/director David J. Miller is Michael Forsythe who is a producer on the show.  The two met through a mutual friend and got to talking about their tastes in comedy and one thing led to another.More info and photos will be posted soon including the casting announcements and detailed story description.  Please email us if through our website if you have any questions in the mean time.  www.ViralFilmVideo.com

Season five of Assisted Living is underway and in just a few weeks our comedy web series will celebrate its’ 40th episode.   “Forty Episodes is a milestone for a narrative WebSeries”  says show creator David J. Miller who is also the writer and director.  ”With the encouragement of stand-up comedian Dustin White, we’ve been able to allow the show to evolve from its’ early plots which were reminiscent of Odd Couple episodes.  Dustin now spends a lot of time trying to find or get rid of a woman and also persuing his stand-up career.”  ViralFilmVideo.com and Mindlight Films has also evolved recently adding other projects to the development pipeline.  More on that to come soon.

We posted a video the other day on YouTube and across the web promoting Assisted Living.  The difference with this video is an on camera appearance by David J. Miller the creator and writer of our comedy web series.  Joining David is show star Dustin White and season 3 actress Heather Mingo.  The trio discuss the process of making the third installment of the show and challenges in the writing, acting and things that the characters face as Dustins story matures.  In addition to the typical promotional stuff there is a little bit of insight into the development process for the web series that is filmed throughout Chicago and how it is growing and gaining popularity.Follow the links below to watch the Assisted Living Web Series Cast and Creator Interview on our website or at YouTube,  and please feel free to leave a comment or rating.http://viralfilmvideo.com/assistedlivinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWLrS1bswpg

We’ve been fortunate recently to be receiving some press for the third season of our comedy web series Assisted Living.  Most of the press has come from the new partnership with the KoldCast.TV distribution network and hopefully this is just the tip of the iceberg.   I’m posting links to each of the press articles about the web series on the Assisted Living website at http://viralfilmvideo.com/assistedliving .  They are on the left hand side under the videos and trailers.  We definitely need to get more actual reviews but the ones we’ve received so far definitely love the show and think its funny, pointing out that there’s definitely a wide audience for the show.  Assisted Living comedy Web Series stars Dustin White as Dustin Connor and is written and directed by David J. Miller of Mindlight Films and ViralFilmVideo.com

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.”

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.
