Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone.

Incidentally this day also is the last day for the public to submit their Streamy Nominations and in relation to both I’m reminded of our amazing and diverse cast.

Early in our casting process we as a team were adamant about having a racially diverse cast. Did we cast on race? No… we just wanted to be diverse to feel real. The real world isn’t predominantly one race, and as such our world in the show isn’t either.

One of the exciting results for our cast is how well they’ve come together as an ensemble. One of the most consistent complements we get for our series is in our performances. NewTeeVee said that we have  ”some of the best acting in web series last year.” A praise that really goes out to the cast and our director Nathan Atkinson

If you’re reading this you’ve probably already seen our Season 1,  so I’m sure you have your own opinions. If not please watch and see for yourself. – Watch Season 1

I encourage you to send some submissions votes for show and cast today for the Streamys. Don’t submit because I’m telling you to, submit/vote because you believe in the strength of the performances on screen.
