Levi George, one of the producers of the Australian based animated web series Livin’ with Steve, dropped us a line to let us know production has wrapped and the series is going to be released online on the 24th of January on the Movie Extra Web Channel. Check out some screengrabs and the trailer, and then be sure to tune in on the 24th.
George is part of a two-man team that also includes Tim Cannan; they wrote, directed, produced, and star in the seven-episode series. They got the opportunity to create the series by entering the Movie Extra Webfest contest, which they didn’t win, but their idea was popular enough to receive funding anyway.
To watch the episodes starting next Tuesday, January 24th, visit the Livin’ with Steve‘s Movie Extra Web Channel on YouTube, and then head over to Facebook and “like” the Movie Extra Webfest.
Synopsis:
In Pine Falls, a secluded and usually peaceful town, multiple acts of dismemberment and cannibalism have been reported. Nate, an unemployed teenager, is too caught up in his own world to notice or even care. For Nate a terrible tragedy is when he can’t find the time to hang out with his best friend, Steve. Steve is a wisecracking, quick thinking, loyal friend – at least that’s how Nate sees it.
The reality is that Steve is a zombie: a living corpse, contaminated by an infection that raises the dead, giving them an unquenchable desire to feed on human flesh. Despite his gruesome appearance and lack of social skills, the people of Pine Falls consider Steve to be nothing more than Nate’s handsome friend, until it’s too late.
With Nate’s naivety and Steve’s lust for blood, the pair consistently find themselves caught up in awkward and threatening situations. In times of distress (at least once per episode), Nate turns to Steve, and Steve solves problems the only way his undead brain will allow… by tearing it to pieces in a cannibalistic feeding frenzy. As Steve spreads the zombie virus throughout the town, Nate is driven to more and more desperate measures to find money for himself and Steve. As the pair are thrust deeper and deeper into bankruptcy, Nate finds himself too pre-occupied with his and Steve’s financial woes (and eventual homelessness) to notice the spreading infection in Pine Falls and society around him plunging into chaos.
