Woodville Set to Take Centre Stage In New Comedy Web Series
Woodville Set to Take Centre Stage In New Comedy Web
Series
The first episode of the NZ on Air
funded web series Woodville launches to the public
next week.
The comedy follows a group of fictional
characters from Woodville who make a documentary about their
fight to keep a petrochemical company out of their
backyard.
The characters share and re-enact their
experiences for the documentary resulting in a comedy of
errors.
Woodville producer and director
Georgiana Taylor says it's been great to work on a
production based in and around small town New Zealand.
“While the series is comical and completely
fictional, we hope many New Zealanders will be able to
relate to the rural way of life it
depicts.”
Woodville writer and
London-based Christopher Brandon agrees and says “even
though the series has a distinctly Kiwi feel to it we
believe the core message of community and its comedy will
also appeal to an international audience.
“That's
the beauty of a web series. Doesn't matter what country
you're in, anyone can access Woodville once it's
uploaded and live.”
Woodville launches on
Tuesday 14 May at www.wouldwoodvillewin.com. Each of the six
episodes will be released on subsequent
Tuesdays.
The series received $44,819.25 from
NZ on Air as part of their revamped Ignite Digital Media
Fund.
Woodville was produced by ClayWeavers
Productions which consists of producer/director Georgiana
Taylor and writer Christopher
Brandon.
