As we monitored Twitter, we happened upon a tweet about this upcoming web series set at fictitious radio station KRML. (Of course we know that KRML is a real radio station in Carmel, California, made famous in the movie "Play Misty For Me.") Some investigation took us to the web site mentalbeast.com where we found this write-up:
Mental Beast is an innovative 12-episode comedy series that spans two mediums, with two totally distinct show formats — audio and video. It tells the story of KRML, a radio station on the verge of collapse, by bouncing between the audio episodes of a radio show called Mental Beast and video episodes depicting the station’s behind-the-scenes exploits.
The KRML station staff is comprised entirely of Vancouver’s finest alternative comedians, actors, and performers. In addition, Mental Beast was written by the same people that created the web-series With Friends Like These and the pioneering promotional videos, the Music Waste Shorts.
Production of the videos is being handled by local film crews The Shots, and Leo Award nominated Awkward Moment Productions; production of the audio series is under the supervision of CBC Radio3 producer Chris Kelly.
Mental Beast officially begins on Monday, December 7. For now, we have the "prologue" for your viewing pleasure.
