Production Notes
A Hybrid Reality Comedy show,"The Crew" was inspired by the legendary Boston crew member, Sumner Shain, of whom it was often said that "If the world was ending, Sumner would stop and take a light reading."
Some think that The Crew is a bunch of improvisational comedy actors trained to be video technicians, but that would be wrong. They aren't trained.
Based in Hollywood, The Crew is available to tape any kind of story anywhere in the world that is requested by their online fans, sponsors, product placement agencies, or corrupt local officials. Bribes are happily accepted.
The Crew should not be considered Paparazzi. That is an insult. Paparazzi are much more technically competent, if much harder to spell.
Often the subjects of The Crew's story think that The Crew is a legitimate news- gathering organization. That too, would be a mistake. There is no such thing.
But The Crew never said that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
Celebrities like to appear in cameos, either as freelance crew members or promoting one of their favorite charities or Indian casinos. They like to work with The Crew because it reminds them of how much more successful they are, and it also gives them a chance to use their status to try to nail the P.A.
The Crew can also cut a serious news, like if anybody cared about that! ...Like if there was any money in it. But what good is a city-wide disaster, personal tragedy or self-serving charity red carpet event if it can't be played for laughs.
The Crew travels the Hollywood Hills and to and from rehab in a (insert sponsor here) hybrid SUV proving how ecologically aware they are. The Crew Vehicle is tricked out as a Mad-Max production van, with a satellite dish providing live coverage over the internet of any breaking story, or wherever that little voice in the dashboard tells us to go.
We shoot on (insert sponsor here) pro-sumer HD video cameras so that any fan can send in material for insertion into the crew video packages. The crew also uploads its raw footage to its internet site so that any fan, world-wide can do his own cut or mashup of any Crew story. After all, how much worse could they be than the editors we've got?
The Crew is presently funded by a Mrs. Kimelo Ugandanda of Lagos, Nigeria, who stands to inherit over $25 million dollars as soon as we can send her the transit fees, but we are willing to discuss financing with all interested parties.
For more information or Mrs. Ugandanda's email address in Lagos, Nigeria, please go to http://The-Crew.TV
