Darwin's Pâté, a Dark Southern Gothic Tale Of Secrets, Betrayal And Revenge, Launches On Youtube

Darwin Entertainment announces the launch of Darwin's Pâté on YouTube. Darwin's Pâté was shot over a period of five days In Los Angeles. The webisodes will premiere Monday, Jan. 21st, 2008 and there will be a new episode every Monday.

"After an extended nine-week theatrical run we went directly into filming the play," explains producer Frank Forte, " We got some great angles and captured some of the important performances in close-up. We had a wonderful, dedicated team who all worked very hard."

Director Mark Landsman goes on to comment, "I read the material and was intrigued by the edgy, dark tone; the sharp, wry language; and the overall metaphor of betrayal and decay. I was hooked and excited to help envision Darwin's Pâté as both a stage and video production. We then lucked out with a fantastic cast of highly talented actors and a fantastic graphic novelist turned production designer who dove into the rich material and brought it vibrantly to life."

"I was very fortunate to have a super cast and crew to bring the pages to life. We are currently approaching production companies and investors to fund an independent film based on the play," says writer Elizabeth J. Musgrave, "We are shopping the play around to small off-Broadway theater companies. A graphic novel is currently in production."

Acclaimed graphic novelist and animator, Frank Forte (HIHI PUFFY AMI YUMI, KID NOTORIOUS, THE MR. MEN SHOW) produced and designed the production. Composer Walter Werzowa, founder of Musikvergnuegen, whose recent compositions include those for Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott, designed the sound. Mark Landsman (director, FX series, 30 DAYS; and the award-winning AFI short film, SKYLAB) directs.

The writer, Elizabeth J. Musgrave, has more than 10 plays and one feature film, EDGE OF NOWHERE, directed by Phillip McKeon (star of the sitcom classic, ALICE) to her credit. For her screenplays, she was a quarter and semi-finalist in the Chesterfield Writers Film Project, Writers' Script Network and Fade-In competitions. Additionally, she has placed in the quarter-finals for her TV spec in the Scriptapalooza contest. She also had the opportunity to work alongside legendary producer, Ray Stark, on two of her projects. She received MFA from the U. of Georgia.

The cast features Sarah Zoe Canner, star of Agnieska Holland's upcoming film, THE TRUE STORY OF JANOSIK; the French film, PETTY CRIMES by director Michel Ferry; and starring opposite Taylor Nichols (HBO's MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN) in the upcoming feature film, CHTHONIK, directed by Polish director Rafal Zielinski.
