“Scene Riff”

In order to keep “The YouTube Experiment” going during the pandemic of 2020, our trio of producers created an 9-episode web series exploring humorous alternate takes on iconic movie moments. Shot entirely on green screen with nearly every on and off-camera role filled by a 3-person team, Scene Riff provided some much-needed work and levity during a difficult time.


Project Goal: Produce a series of parody short films for our YouTube channel with a 3-person cast and crew during lockdown.
