One afternoon, we couldn't write a line of the script we've been hired to write. We were bored and looked at each other eyes: "why don't we try to shoot a short movie with our handycam and edit it with that nice software u found on your hard disc?" We called Marco's wife to star in it and in 20 minutes the first episode of "Scums -the web series-" was ready shot. |
We've already decided to make a series out of "Scums". Our friend Vito was in the house and we started thinking of a nice character that would fit him for our second episode. That's the origin of El Padre. About one hour later we finished shooting.
|
That's
the first time we made some phone calls to organise a new episode. Our
friend Cristiano lives one block away. We called him to rush here and
play the part of Zecca. |

Now
Scums was already online and moving well: for the 4th episode we had
to keep up the suspance. We left Zecca pursueing Angela but we had to
add an element of surprise. |
Scott Roy
is among the people that contacted us at the first release of Scums.
We were looking for an idea for a later episode that he could do. Then
something happened: we didn't have a fifth episode anymore (technical
problem). Scott seemed the more ambitios about doing his own scums thing.
We emailed him: "Scott can u do an episode we already wrote in a few
days?" He said yes and with the precious assistance of Matthew Grenier
he sent us the full package by the deadline. He directed a wonderful
darkish episode that introduce two new important additions in the world
of Scums: the GOVS, guys in a suit with some weird superpowers and SNAKE
BITE, the infamous boyfriend of Angela, that will appear full figure
in the next episode. Is also remarkable the presence of Jen Miron as
a scared victim and camera operator. |
The
sixth episode, that introduces to the series, Snake Bite, a new character
that showed already as a shadow in Ottawa in the fifth episode, is the
beginning of the final showdown that will bring us to the climax of episode
10, where important things are uncovered and where the series will take
a whole new turn in plot that will affect forever the rest of the series.
It was very difficult to find the right guy to play the role of Snake
Bite. One night, in the famous roman bar "Il Locale" maybe with too many
drinks running in our blood, we proposed the part to Stefano Antonelli.
That was enthusiastic and gave us all his assistance proving to be the
perfect Snake Bite (and proving also that sometimes decisions taken in
a state daze are the best ones!) . |
