Off the wall
Pulling from the latest news stories from across the globe, Tommy Hunter's first show discusses the pros and cons of euthanasia, a hot topic that researchers at AAC Studios thought was a country near Thailand. The pilot episode featured Simon, a terminally ill patient who was on the TV show gambling his own escape from life.
polorised scripts
With the pilot episode aired to a user group the response was polorised, split with people loving the episode or hating it, exactly what we wanted. Based on further feedback we scripted an additional six episodes that featured the development of Tommy Hunter and the TV production crew at ACC Studios.
Origins
'Live from the Metropolis' was an off-shoot of Yomiko, a web series that featured two key characters Yom & Iko. Using similar characters across storylines, the look and the feel of 'Live from the Metropolis' echoed each other.
