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."
