The Young And The Wireless

I know I haven't been updating that much this summer, but hey, it's summer! I've been doing summery things like drinking beer, working all day, hiking, picnicking, going to Massachusetts, going to Wisconsin, drinking more beer, and making videos. The videos I've been working on are a web series for the Syracuse University News21 project. If you don't know what that is, that's ok, I'm not going to explain it because it's complicated and confusing. Anyways, I was asked to create some soap opera-esque webisodes to go along with the title of their project, The Young and the Wireless. It took me a couple months to come up with a story and write the script, but I finally came up with a concept I thought was good and interesting.

The web series is centered around Samson Goldwater, a young, rich computer maverick who's created an online social networking empire in order to mask his own inability to make real friends. We then follow the lives of the people who are connected and affected by his websites and explore the drama of life that technology is often apart of.

I hope you enjoy and would definitely appreciate your feedback/criticism. Cheers.
