As we mentioned before, we have some short one-act comedies around the bend! The show is officially called “Quickies: A Collection of Comedies” and will feature two shows, “The Mattress” and “Regrets of Idiocy” with a third show very possible. Here is the current cast:

The show is packed with many familiar faces and some new to the Zero Untitled family. “The Mattress” was written by Erik Helsing, a Texas A&M – Commerce graduate. The cast: Maupin (“In Regards”, “House Party Mix-Up”, etc), Heurtelou (“Once Enslaved”), and introducing Allan Guzman.

With the “Over White Wine” production at a stand still, we are continuing the 2008 season with a handful of one act plays. Dates are still pending, but productions will most likely be in the Blue Room.
“THE MATTRESS” by Erik Helsing, is a spoof on “The Matrix” films and was originally produced at Texas A&M – Commerce under the direction of Gabriel Ruiz.
“REGRETS OF IDIOCY” by Stephanie Wright, is the witty tale of two lovers just trying to mend their crumbling relationship. A twist at the end you won’t expect!
Another play will more than likely be added to the mix so keep an eye out. Some of the confirmed cast members are: James Taylor Maupin IV (“In Regards”, “Over White Wine”), Stephanie Wright (A Winter’s Harvest, Once Enslaved), Chad Wallace (Once Enslaved), and newbie Allan Guzman.
More details on the way!
The latest news on “Over White Wine” is bad news, actually. Due to some problems with with audio, the film editing process has come to a bit of a stand still. In the mean time, we have some one act plays just around the corner. We’ll keep you posted on the outcome of OWW.
I hope that the holidays have treated everyone well! The holidays were especially fattening for the Zero Untitled crowd. Here’s a quick breakdown of what is being worked on and what is coming up in 2008!
Our filming of “Over White Wine” has now concluded! Thanks to all who helped out and/or acted! Thanks go out to the cast and crew: James Taylor Maupin IV, Malarie Garza, Rick Saenz, O’Ryan White, Felicia Morin, Nigel Gomez, and Aissa Hinojosa. Many thanks to Aissa for the stellar dolly-cam idea (don’t worry, you’ll see when the movie premieres).
Everything is in the can right now and editing will begin very soon. Keep an eye out and you’ll get the scoop here. We’ll also post pics here and on the myspace site!
Because “Over White Wine” was half film and half live, Verderber thought it wise to film the “live” portion and re-edit the piece as one film, instead of having (what amounts to) wasted footage (ie, the filmed stuff of the live performance). So on December 2nd, filming is scheduled for the remainder the show.
“Over White Wine” stars James Taylor Maupin IV, Malorie Garza and David Gutierrez. The final cut will be premiered alongside some of the other recent Zero Untitled films (Verderber’s “Slipping” music vid, DJ Oringe music vid “In Regards” and possible “Mimeumentary”).
We’ll keep you posted.
I apologize for the lack of action in the realm of Zero Untitled, but we’ve had some MAJOR changes come about recently. Both Gabe and Verderber have since moved so that has been hectic. Add in the fact that they need to adjust to their “newness” Zero Untitled has gotten a bit idle. However, this weekend we got a filming coming up!
Other excuses for Zero Untitled’s absence:
1. Folks moving
2. The Website crashed.
3. Verderber thought he saw a pink elephant.
4. Gabe thought he saw a pink rhinoceros.
But seriously, we’re back!
Zero Untitled’s 23rd show is now up and ready for your viewing pleasure. It’s Zero Untitled’s second music video, the first being DJ Oringe’s “In Regards”, the brand new video is Verderber’s “Slipping”, an acoustic rock song.
