WHAT IS THE DAVID GREEN SHOW?
So, understandably a bunch of people have been wanting to know what The David Green Show is all about.
The original idea was simple: What if a regular guy one day decided to make a TV show out of his own life? And what if that guys’ life was pretty plain and boring except that he embarrasses himself on camera, all while trying to get himself on TV?
In 2005 I wrote scripts for thirteen 22 minute episodes of a TV show called “My Life”, and the very first scene was shot on January 16, 2006. Not the most efficient schedule.
Despite being fully scripted, much of what you’ll see was improvised on the day, either following the original script to some degree, or often just a bullet list of story points. It was a big ask to get people, many of whom were not actors to perform scenes with virtually no script. And to then ask them to try and take it seriously when I’m being so stupid, was even more ridiculous. But, everyone was keen to be involved and they all stepped up and delivered admirably.
As time went on, and “life got in the way”, I knew I would have to compromise a bit to make the production easy enough to finish, so I repackaged the work we had already done into as many complete episodes as possible.
The whole series is now 7x30 minute episodes (with an extra long finale) and runs for about 3.5 hours all together.
This project is something that I have been working on for nearly 9 years.
And it’s almost done.
And it will be out very soon.
But first, keep an eye out on Monday September 15th for a trailer!
