Hello bay area filmmakers.  I’ve spent the last week catching up on the web series “Break a Leg.”

Check it out at Breakaleg.tv

The first thing to note, is that this series was produced and stars a lot of top bay area talent.  I am extremely impressed with the writing of the series as well as the acting.  Those two elements lead the way for this series to be a hit.  Lead, as in the past tense.  Or is it present tense?  It was a hit.  It is a hit.  Either way, they have a lot of views and good press.  I am a fan of the show.

However, I should point out that when I first sat down and watched the first few episodes, I wasn’t entirely sold.  But that because I’m probably one of the only people that HATES the office.  Specifically, as a Director of Photography, I HATE the office.  But I love Arrested Development!

I stuck with the series though, and somewhere in the 3rd episode, Act 1 or 2, the series really hit it’s stride.  After that, I couldn’t stop.  I had to continue on and watch the ridiculous story play out.   Each episode built nicely on the next and plot themes continued through the series.

I just went back and watched the first few episodes again, and I have to admit that the first episode was a lot better than I remember.  Really really good in fact.

Anyone out there who has not seen this series should do so immediately.
