QUILTBAGS Episode 6: Mission Accomplished

QUILTBAGS is a web series which explores sexuality through dramatized scenes with a variety of fascinating characters. You never know who might show up, or what they might want.

If you are new to QUILTBAGS, please scroll down and watch Episode 1, “Little Pitchers”, which will properly introduce the series and give you our wonderful theme song. Episodes 1 and 4 are the setup for this episode (episodes 2 and 3 take us on a detour with Walter and Jake). Please don’t forget to register so that you are notified of new episodes.

In this episode, Vivian finally gets to meet a potential sex partner of the feminine gender.  This is the first time we see Lily, and I’d really like to know how you feel about her.

This is the end of the Becker’s story arc for a while.  If all goes well we’ll introduce a whole new cast of characters for the next episode – Frank, his husband Rod, and their 94 year old adopted grandmother with dementia.  Gonna be some fun.

This episode was written by Zale Dalen, with contributions from Ruth Anderson and Tim Johnson, none of which matters because most of the dialogue hit the editing room floor, as we used to say when that is actually what happened.  Now of course it just sits in a file that doesn’t get seen.

J. Douglas Dodd came over late at night to give me another set of eyeballs on the cut and lay on the tinkly seduction piano music.  Thanks Doug.

Big thanks to Tim Hortons for letting us shoot in their restaurant.

QUILTBAGS Episode 5: You Will Be Judged

QUILTBAGS is a web series which explores sexuality through dramatized scenes with a variety of fascinating characters. You never know who might show up, or what they might want.

If you are new to QUILTBAGS, please scroll down and watch Episode 1, “Little Pitchers”, which will properly introduce the series and give you our wonderful theme song. Episode 1  is the setup for this episode (episodes 2 and 3 take us on a detour with Walter and Jake). Please don’t forget to register so that you are notified of new episodes.

This is the second half of “Dating Advice” which started in episode 4. The first half of this episode was tightly scripted and pretty well accomplished in a one take two shot. The second half was entirely extemporaneous. Needless to say we had more fun with the second half.

Again, this episode stars Nicole Busby as Sarah Becker and Ruth Anderson as Vivian Becker, her mother in law, with a vocal guest appearance by GouGou the dog.

Camera was by Tim Johnson, Sound by Dana Fehr,  script supervision by Theodore Johnson.  Directed and Edited by Zale Dalen
