My MTSS cohorts and I were hired by the nonprofit One Economy to produce an educational series for the Public Internet Channel. The purpose of the project is multi-faceted, with the goal of getting technology into low income neighborhoods, then providing users with online resources that can help make a difference. The first episode focuses on single parenting.

This topic had been requested for a long time. The process was fun because it allowed for Britney to create two memorable characters in a short amount of time, along with our forgotten homeland Vagistonia. We shot in Chicago apartments which was a nightmare for sound. Sound has become a challenge on every MTSS shoot.
MTSS #20 (The Green Tongue of HPV)

The twentieth episode of Midwest Teen Sex Show focuses on the virus HPV. I wanted to do another horror genre (last year I did the slasher with Syphilis), but I wanted to avoid the obvious sexual metaphors such as vampirism. Zombies seemed like an option, but it’s been done over and over in recent years. After a quick conversation with a friend at Radar Dog Productions, the witch genre (or sub-genre) became the clear choice.
I drew upon my favorite Dario Argento film “Phenomena” as well as his Three Mothers trilogy for inspiration, along with the Hammer film “The Devil Rides Out.” It turned into our longest and most complicated shoot but also the most fun. The post-production process took twice as long compared to other episodes, due to the extensive sound design required. Many thanks to everyone involved and Gordon Tebo for providing some fantastic music.
