Noted web series creator Scott Brown is back. When we last heard from the one time Streamy nominee, he was bringing dark humor to the slasher genre with Stockholm. For his next act, Brown is exploring the world of petty, superficial sororities. He is the creative mind behind Destroy The Alpha Gammas, a collegiate musical with an attitude. With its musical heart and young cast, Destroy The Alpha Gammas is immediately reminiscent of Glee, although its trailer is sure to remind each viewer that "you're not in glee club anymore." Instead, the series takes place at a university, where two rival sororities will do everything they can to make each others' lives miserable. I'm expecting the opening scene of West Side Story mixed with a collegiate version of Mean Girls. Actress and pop singer Leah McKendrick wrote the script, and she also stars as Carrie, the leader of the less popular Delta Pi sorority.

We loved Writer/Director Scott Brown's first series, Blue Movies, a slickly-written comedy that ended up nominated for a Streamy Award in 2010. His follow-up, Asylum, wasn't half bad either. Now, Brown has returned with Stockholm, a dark, droll romp about a serial killer's relationship with his potential victim. The series is being hosted on Blip and the first two episodes dropped today. Zach Gold (a frequent Brown actor who got to play the porno version of The Joker in Blue Movies) plays the male lead with newcomer Brittani Noel as his female counterpart

Video from the event is coming soon but in the meanwhile, you can check out our exclusive pictures from photographer Gustavo Monroy below.
Byrne opened the show with a hilarious monologue which covered a variety of topics from producing shows on low budgets, merchandising (she took not one, but two drinks from a Gotham mug), the impact of secret weapon Nadia Bjorlin, confusing sexuality, and so much more. Byrne introduced the presenters and cracked jokes throughout.

The pyschological drama genre remains a font for indie filmmakers looking to explore deep character arcs without the expectations of some of the pricier genres. Asylum premiered last night in Hollywood at Cinespace, a venue fast becoming the city’s Cbgb’s of web series, to a capacity crowd of supporters. Not a bad foot to start a show off on. The big question however is will this indie have the muster to break through? A week ago I opined that this might be this year’s Compulsions, with its similar genre, release timing and early indie buzz. Now having watched the full six-episode opening season of Asylum, the comp still holds water, meaning we might see a nom or two come awards season here. At the onset, we are taken inside St. Dympna Hospital for the Criminally Insane, a tired, state-funded outfit badly overlooked by any sort of authority.

Hard to believe it’s already been a year since Bernie Su’s twisted character drama Compulsions bowed online. The 8-episode series, which bowed in time to qualify for awards season, netted four Streamy Award nominations and Su took home the Streamy for Best Writing. Now as the final month of 2010 is upon us, another dark indie drama is set to walk on the web stage this month. Asylum, from creator Dan Williams and director Scott Brown (Blue Movies) has already turned heads with its trailer (below) that made it an official selection at this fall’s New York Television Festival (Nytvf) and the Anaheim International Film Festival (Aiff).
