We

BARLOW and BOB ADLER, he allows life to imitate art as the films
entire process will unfold as an interactive web event. This is

will focus exclusively on the online broadcast and the challenge of
engaging an audience in the filmmaking experience.

small-town-life takes on epic proportions as the quirky locals become
global celebrities in a real-life internet soap opera.
