Review, Doritos, and more #SelfieGuy!

10/25/2015

 
Awesome opening weekend of Audience Annihilated 3: The Trouble with Angels -and we're HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by NewCity Stage! It's so much fun terrifying audiences - I only hope I can get the fake blood out of my clothes :) See below the break for the full text review.

Other recent developments:

Colee Wong, friend and former coworker, asked Amanda and her fiancé Jonah to appear in her team's entry into the Doritos Commercial Contest. We were tickled to appear as a young couple falling in love over our shared passion for Doritos. It was a ton of fun of fun to shoot, and thanks to Leo, our DP, and Max, who filled in as the sound engineer. Now we have a bunch of leftover Doritos to eat...

Also, Amanda's 1st appearance in the #SelfieGuy series is now on the Media - Film Shorts page. She'll be shooting another #SelfieGuy video in November, and will appear in at least on more after that. This is a fun goofy group, and I hope to work with these guys more in the future. 

More news to come!
Here's the review:
​
Not knowing what to expect while standing outside in the drizzle, waiting to be allowed into the Dream Laboratory, it is difficult not to stuff down the tittering giggle that haunts my throat. I’m only able to transmute that nervous laughter into an idiotic grin after being carefully herded through the door to sit in a row of four chairs crammed up against a stage set in the woods. The sound of flies buzzes in my ears and a decaying, bloody opossum hangs from a branch before me. What follows in Jeremy Menekseoglu’s short and sweet “Audience Annihilated Part Three: The Trouble with Angels” is more precise than horror, it is the nightmare of urban America. From the stage in the woods, the audience is led to a second stage: a cabin in the middle of these woods, beer cans hanging from the ceiling and littering the stage. Part of the audience plays Angel, and if you’re so lucky, you will sit at the picnic table on stage to be berated by your drunken mother who is disappointed and disgusted that you’ve been wandering out in the woods alone. Of course, there is something worse in the woods than what your mother fears, and as she falls into a drunken sleep, you learn what that is when several hooded and masked figures come crashing through the door. Like the most horrifying things, it is not immediately obvious who or what these figures are or what they want. Though the premise of the show proceeds to become even creepier, I could not wipe the idiotic grin from my face, partly out of apprehension but also in part because of the clever ironies that unfold. Throughout, the cast does an astounding job of crafting and maintaining their characters, especially given their proximity to and interaction with the audience. “Audience Annihilated Part Three” is so entertaining and thoroughly detailed that you fall solidly out of your world and into theirs only to be relieved twenty minutes later that it was just a play.
