A New Video Series

A new series I'm going to produce through my company, SpinelliMedia, is "The World of the Unbelievable," which I have written produced, directed and, although not included here, I host the series as well. The sequence you see above is an edited version of the open, and then a brief moment from the interior of the show. It had to be added way down from the original to get it into the maximum permissible megabytes for blogger. The title of this particular show is "Phil," and is the story of an old woman who sees her son just before she, too, crosses over to the other side. She didn't know, however, that her son had died a couple of months prior to the incident portrayed here. While the World of the Unbelievable is made up of many stories that are strictly fictional in nature, this particular story is based on a true incident -- one that occurred as my grandmother died. I am planning to produce four or five stories in total and, hopefully, air them prior to Halloween, 2008. Note to the video blogging class who will see this post, I am going to include a link to my company web site, but it is under construction right now. The old web site is still up, but is filled with things that do not work, some of the wall paper is now down and there are a lot of other problems with it. When the new site is up you will see some additional videos there. The link is: http://www.spinellimedia.com, and it should be up within a week of this posts' date.

New Television Series


While in Maine this year I decided that I would make a new television series entitled "In Search of the Ultimate Lobster." The idea came while tearing apart one of the delicious denizens in a quaint little restaurant outside of Bar Harbor. Then I decided to write and produce a series entitled "In Search of the Ultimate Clam Chowder," which would be either a followup series to the one about the lobster or one to run simultaneously. Then I decided I would probably get entirely too fat -- even more so than now -- so I decided against the series. I'm fortunate in that I can come up with the idea for a new series, but I can also produce and direct the series, too. I not only wanted to write, produce and direct the lobster and chowder series, but wanted to star in them too. No one would watch it, but I'd be very, very happy eating my way through New England.
