October 25 – the date we have all been waiting for! The premiere of the first project of the Zero Untitled Uncharted Media In-House Festival, or ZUUM-In Fest for short! Below you will find the digital play “The (Almost) Kindergarten Fire” written and directed by Katherine Orozco-Verderber and starring Kolby Hagel, Michael Verderber, and Ms. Orozco-Verderber as well.
“The (Almost) Kindergarten Fire” is a situational comedy about a hapless father and an overworked kindergarten teacher’s ongoing battle with bratty Annabelle and her love of lighters. The character of “Annabelle” has made appearances in several ZU works throughout the years (dating all the way to 2012), so what better mascot to kick off the festival with then our very own trouble-making child character?
The next ZUUM-In productions are as follows:
– “Wait, Wait – You Did What?!”
– “Innocuous”
– “For Those Soft and Lonesome Times”
– “Church of the Winter”
Enjoy the first production below:
The latest and seventh episode of “The Job Interviews” is officially up and viewable! In this last episode (for AWHILE, anyway), Terry faces off against Winston Richman, the OWNER of Banking International. There are lots of references to previous episodes, so do catch up on the episodes to you can fully enjoy this one!
Future episodes will be produced after the ZUUM-In Festival wraps up!
Promotional aesthetics for the performances in the ZUUM-In Fest are being made and promoted. For the first production, “The (Almost) Kindergarten Fire” by Katherine Orozco-Verderber, the following aesthetic has been created from famous internet images that promote the play and the actors performing in the piece.
After deliberation, rejection, and acceptance, we are proud to announce our first ever Zero Untitled Uncharted Media In-House Play Festival (or “ZUUM-In Fest” for short) winning plays! Below is a list of the work that will be staged via social distanced rehearsal and performed either live or in a recorded form! You’ll also note the month of production and release.
Winning playwrights Trujillo, Martinez, and Carmona will all take home a small monetary prize! More information is coming soon for this new festival!
The purple-clad punks of Premature Punchline put poogether (too many Ps?), put TOGETHER a new video featuring their new game, Chop Shop. Catch episode #4 here:

Zero Untitled “ZUUM In” Festival
Zero Untitled is officially announcing our first ever ZUUM-IN Digital Play Festival, or as we are calling it ZUUM In Fest. It’s ZU, plus Zoom, and In-House = Zero Untitled Uncharted Media Fest! This will be a series of 4 to 5 short plays that are staged via Zoom or Skype, in August or September.
In short, I am to aim for a mix of plays that acknowledge Zoom (think: the new Parks and Recreation episode), ones that acknowledge that there is an interface of some kind (our The Job Interviews series), perhaps a one-man show, or (what we are really hoping for), something we haven’t done yet. I want to explore Zero Untitled’s creativity. For now, this will be an in-house festival (meaning, only ZU writers for now).
The rules and guidelines (which may be subject to change, pending unforeseen problems) are as following:
We are really pushing for creativity in this endeavor as I KNOW we are very talented in weird elements, so let’s push it further. Selected plays will be cast in quarantine and productions WILL be filmed for distribution on www.zerountitled.com and on our YouTube account. Please note that one page of dialogue is about a minute of performance.
We would PREFER that playwrights direct their own productions (these will be filmed in screen capture by our crew), but you may offer up the play without your directing expertise. Please note on script or email whether you prefer to direct your own script. Playwrights MAY also act in their own productions.
Not sure if you are a member of Zero Untitled? Email us and we will let you know!
