hey guys,

alrite so finally gaytown is released. its about a heterosexual man living in a town full of Gay's and the presecution he goes through. it is not offensive and is extremely funny. I have been shooting these since this summer and they were released this month. we have completed the first season and a episode will be released per week on wensday.

they were all funded by Sony TV. OWEN benjamin, the lead actor and writer got a 200 short deal with sony and iam his goto dp. i shoot all his material. we are going to be releasing a lot more content as time passes.

we have completed the 1st season of gaytown (10 episodes) and will being production on the 2nd season this month. please check them out and let me know what u think.

sorry for the horrible youtube quality, all these were directed by todd strauss schulman. and shot by Vahe Papazyan with Matt Fore as my gaffer.

im not sure the producers set out to do this or not, but the humor actually comes from the fact that it makes fun of homosexuals. it basically shows how "normal" the main heterosexual character is, and how flaky and stereotypical gay men can be. lol, so if anything, props for that.

Vahe,

This is really really good. Not bad looking even on youtube. Love the bright high key look.. super clean and colorful. The humor is spot on and will certainly piss of a good share of the audience, but that's what comedy is about. The gay thing is certainly everywhere so why not poke a bit of fun.... I said, Poke.


Congrats and when will you have more? I hope you piss off a bunch of people and get features. No such thing as bad press when doing the homo jokes. CHEERS
 
looks great, really nicely shot.

Can't imagine why anyone would find it funny though. Sorry, just MHO. Actually - I almost found it offensive.
 
please dont tell me you found it ofensive agains homosexuals? if ANYTHING it is slightly offensive to heterosexuals acting like we arent "normal", even though it show how normal hetero is actuall, lol, ironice, but anyway, you mean offensive toward hetero right?

Well - this isn't really the forum to get into a morale content debate - we're a visual forum and perhaps I shouldn't have brought it up in the first place...
I liked the way it was shot. There.
If anyone is at all bothered about personal feelings about the piece (can't see why - they're just my opinions) , please feel free to PM me, or we can start a new thread in a general area.
Here ain't the place - my fault - sorry :)

moog, we never set out to offend homosexuals. we dont use derogatory words, and a bunch of my gay friends love the show and are happy to see the tables turned.

yes a feature is in the works, we plan on shooting with the red and pitching it to sony sometime soon. owen is the brainchild of the whole concept and writes, acts and produces the music for all the episodes, he is a very talented comedian and is on tour with jimmy falon. jimmy will also be making a guest appearance sometime in the near future.

the episodes premiere every wensday, i believe. and the 2nd season will be shot sometime this month and will focus on the other members of gaytown. check em out.
 
Has tons of potential. I think you can tell that there aren't any gay people involved in the writing and directing though. Or are there? Doesn't seem like it. And seems like there should be to make it both funnier and able to ride that line between offensive and hilarious.
