I grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY obsessed with EC Comics, old radio plays, and The Twilight Zone. About 10 years ago I wrote a pilot script for an anthology series. Flash forward to working with Graham McTavish and Keith David on the last episodes!
The Strange Thing About is a fully produced horror/thriller anthology. Original scores for every episode, foley, full cast. We work out of an anime dubbing and post-production studio, so we brought that production sensibility to it.
We've released 8 of 10 episodes so far. The latest release features Mariel Hemingway. The final two have dream casts: Xolo Maridueña, James Cromwell, Jackie Tohn, Graham McTavish and Keith David all of whom signed on because they responded to the scripts, not the budget (which, as an indie, is... modest). We also cast Ayumi Ito (Tifa in Final Fantasy) to play the female lead in the season finale, The Strange Thing About the Garden. <- This one is about a man near the end of his life, finding an unexpected portal in his pantry that takes him back to a special garden in Japan.
Along the way we picked up three Webby Award and two Ambie Award nominations, which has also floored us.
The show hasn't found its audience yet and I am kinda hoping this community might be who it was made for. Would love any thoughts, and happy to answer questions about how we made it, got the cast to sign on, etc, etc.
