The Sixty Second Soap Opera
3 Seasons
Spawning from the universal lockdown, also known as The Pandemic, we get to peer into the lives of two highly dramatic individuals, as their cohabiting lives together takes multiple twists and turns, for better or for worse, sixty seconds at a time.
Clad with a highly prestigious job, the apprehensive, yet spirited, Vincent Montgomery carries an affluent household with an autocratic socialite wife, Caroline Montgomery. Right before Caroline’s long-awaited Golden Gilded Gallery Gala, an annual ball where everyone who is anyone attends. Shattered, Vincent received devastating news that he was laid-off due to the quarantine from the sweltering Covid-19 climate.
Out of desperation, Vincent must act to prevent the downfall of his household, setting off a wave of charismatic amusing characters and a whirlwind of adventures along the way!
This series was created during the height of the global pandemic, by two actors with resources and locations limited to what was inside the four walls of their home. All characters had to be played by each other which lead to some hilariously interesting consequences that all can enjoy.
Vision for the show:
We imagine the show growing into full 30 minute episodes, with growth in characters and plots all while keeping the same feeling of bottled up charm as though the creators are still making the most out of limited resources. The zany hyperbole of the plots will remain just as unpredictable and more so with the expansion of resources. The characters and storylines would be able to experience new locations and greater adventures with this growth.
