News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

FEED Episodes 1 and 2: "Beheading" and "Lorna Michaels Exclusive"

Today we're introducing a new web series, FEED, produced by out filmmaker Mel Robertson.

With the tagline "we only know what they want us to know," this gritty drama set in Los Angeles tells the story of "a news-obsessed blogger, who takes the media into her own hands when a video she’s posted online makes its way to the five o’clock news and threatens the lives of everyone in the video, including the shooter and her new group of digital vigilantes."

The "news-obsessed blogger" is bisexual ex-reality television producer-turned-waitress Maura Knight (Amanda Deibert), who accidentally captures an after-hours attack on her video camera at the restaurant where she works. It's all downhill from there, as Maura is forced to go on the run from a lot of people who want her dead.

Watch the first two episodes below, and look for a new episode on AfterEllen.com every other Friday.

Warning: there is some violence in the series, but it's mostly implied (don't let the title of the first episode fool you, though, there's no actual beheading shown).

FEED: Episode 1 "Beheading"

FEED: Episode 2 "Lorna Michaels Exclusive"

Go to FeedSeries.tv for more info on the series, the cast, and the filmmaker.

    Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey.

    Yay

    It started a tiny bit slow for my taste, but that didn't bother me, what bothered me more is that I now have ANOTHER webseries I am addicted to.

    It's so raw and gritty and exactly my taste. 

    Can't wait to see more.

    Wow, I must say that I'm definately hooked on this new webseries right now. Especially as a future communications major, this whole spin on the idea behind the media is pretty interesting, and I haven't heard that much of it considering I could be considered one of those manipulating the media.

    ...don't think I am though, lol.

    Wow...

    ....that was exceptionally well done.  I would dare say better than 96% of what is on network television.  Great job by the cast, crew, and creator(s).

    Thanks to Sarah and AE for bringing us yet another exciting new web-series.

    Any road is a good road when you don't know where you're going.

    Brilliant!!!!

    Bril...absoultely bril!!!! I'm so on board with this...We laugh alot here on Afterellen...maybe we should settle down and get serious for a second lol

    I always worry that if something really intense was happening that I would freeze up...and I so want to be the person that jumps up and saves a life or just does something helpful you know.

    On a lighter note...ya'll know I'm all over the hats so here goes: The girl that was in the van on the reporters right (left our view)...anybody know where I can get that one from???

    Can't Wait to See the Story Develop

    After checking out all the episodes, I'm liking this. Good work.
    crystal_girlz's picture

    I'm a bit freaked out...

    it seemed good so far, but i just wanna know, why is there a picture Suddam Husein being hanged when  it says "the screen went blank"? on the third (or so) heart beat? cos i personally think that it's sick to put that in there. sorry to put a dampner on things, but i dunno if anyone else noticed it. i'm just a bit disturbed by it. anyways... sorry for highlighting it. and good luck with making the rest of the series...

     

    heroinefilms's picture

    it's okay to be freaked out...

    I know it's a stark image, one that we've all seen too often, our subconscious becoming overrun with what the media feeds us...The fact that it caused a visceral reaction is indeed what it's there for. 

    I wanted to take you inside of Maura's head and show you the constant zoetrope of what she sees.

    Unfortunately, it's not all pretty in there.  She sees what she's been told to see: images coming from the news and billboards and reality and...just everything we're hit with ALL day long. Maura is caught in her head and that's what's there.  the same reason for the Vtech killer and the montage of current events that hits her constantly.

    Thanks for discussing it though.  that's the most important thing - weall need to talk.

    One to watch

    Just noticed this series today and went back to watch all the previous episodes.  Great premise and good acting by all involved.  Loved the openning Feed segment.  It caught my attention right away.
