Undecided Films, LLC announced this week that they are currently in development for an Angie Cumming web series based off the short “Angie Goes On A Date” created by James Di Giacomo.
Undecided Films, LLC is currently meeting with investors who are interested in funding this unconventional “Untitled Angie Cumming” project as a cable series.
Presently, 6 to 12 webisodes are shooting, and the web series will be launched on the various websites that cater to webisodes.
The “Untitled Angie Cumming Project” will then use the 60-plus minutes of footage and turn it into a 30-minute pilot presentation that will be submitted to networks like Comedy Central, IFC, LOGO and several other premium channels.
James Di Giacomo has brought in an off-beat writer and rumors are that the scripts thus far are nothing short of hilarious. TheDamienZone.com has read the first three and we thought it was awesome.
“It’s really an ambitious project but I think we’ve done a great job with it,” James Di Giacomo said from his home in Burbank.
“I snagged a really great writer too. Somehow I managed to convinced Dave Mattia to join write for the show. He’s a guy who is famous for his writing in the horse racing business, but he’s also written some screenplays that I thought were great. Two of his more recent scripts are in development and one of them — a thing called ‘GOUGE’– is really incredible. That script could easily turn into an instant hit film, so I wanted to get Dave before I could no longer afford him and he went all Hollywood on me.
“Dave wasn’t available when I did the original short film ‘Angie Goes On A Date’ but he’s totally on board now. His stuff is always really funny or super creepy so I asked him if he wanted to work on the Angie project, and he was like…okay? I thought he was joking. I didn’t think he would actually say he’d do it.
“Anyway, we work really well together and its funny how totally different we are when we approach comedy. I’m really happy with the way this has turned out.”
We here at TheDamienZone caught a glimpse of some of Angie Cumming’s stuff, and as much as we usually hate everything, the scripts we saw were actually very funny, and if they come off on screen as well as they do on paper, this show will be a complete riot.
We like to think we know what’s good and what isn’t. Very few comedy shows are super funny on paper because their ultimate appeal depends on the performances of the actors, but this one is very funny — straight from the printer.
“I think that once people get a taste for Angie, they might want to gargle, ” said Di Giacomo with a chuckle. “That pretty much sums up her character…or lack of character.”
TheDamienZone agrees with the show’s young producer/actor, and that’s especially why we like what we know so far — and we always know more than you do. Sorry, but that’s true.
Angie Cumming, the title character, is a third-string Hollywood gossip reporter who lives a lonely life with her “artistic” son, her train-wreck of a mother, and pretty much nothing else but pathetic misadventure. Somehow James Di Giacomo has made this nothingness into something and it might be worth taking a look at it when it is released sometime this fall.
