About the Event
Prelude to a Kiss will be a pre-launch event for Run for Your Life in partnership with Singleling, where those in attendance will have the opportunity to meet storytellers, thinkers, makers and the cast & team behind Run for Your Life as well as figures in the world of digital dating.
The event will have many special guests including live storytellers: Carolyn Castigila (Comedy Central, VH1), Tamara Shephard (RFYL cast member), Tarik Daniels, and Vanessa Valerio (founder of Singleling). Followed by the LOVE Panel discussing dating in the digital age, moderated by Martha Williams (Founder of BugHouse Media and creator of Run for Your Life), which includes Mark Pagán (Other Men Need Help), Rachel Hills (The Sex Myth), Vana Koutsomitis (Date Play), and Hunt Ethridge (Hunt for Advice).
The featured event of the night is a sneak preview of one episode of Run For Your Life. In Run for Your Life, our two main characters, Richard (Zack Gold, Best Comedy Actor nominee for the International Academy Of Web Television (Stockholm)) and Celine (Mia Darrow), encounter one ridiculous date after another. After imagining how the relationship could go even more terribly wrong, they RUN FOR THEIR LIVES….all over town.
The 4-episode web series created by Martha Williams (founder - Bughouse Media) will launch on YouTube with the hope for love in the air, February 14. The series is an honest relief from the push/pull, love/hate feeling technology has inspired in modern times, balanced with the timeless search for “the one,” and capturing the “I can’t believe this is happening” feeling that so many of us have experienced in online dating.
The team comprises of creator/writer/director Martha Williams, a wild and winsome former choreographer turned filmmaker; along with the Gemini firecracker producer, Ashley George and the natural, truthful flow of Lucky Cheung’s cinematography.
The creators are taking on an anthology format, where each season will follow a diverse set of characters set in different worlds, for example: Gay actors in LA, working class Ohio, progressive Seattle, Georgia farmers, transgender in San Francisco, workaholics in NY.
It’s a fictional show motivated by the director’s quest to understand both the absurdity and complexity behind the search for love in modern technological times; blending surreal comedy and life, revealing raw heart.
Currently, launch is planned for YouTube and the team is searching out other distribution opportunities funding for future episodes and seasons.
Selected clips from the series can be screened for journalists. The series creator & selected cast members are available for interviews about “RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.”
