EBOLA
Location: Richmond INDIANA, auditions by skype, several days and hours available
Type: Web series
“EBOLA” is a ten- episode adventure series exposing the values and challenges of friendship, survival skills, hardship, character growth, law enforcement, disease control, triangulation of ego, family and friends, career choices vs. volunteering, betrayal and love. The action rotates around urban, natural and high-tech life styles where personal freedom is threatened by the greater good for all.
After their mission in Africa, three Ebola health care volunteers – Kevan, Rosendo and Jean-Paul – find themselves fenced inside an abandoned forest parcel by Quarantine orders from highest authority. Total seclusion is endangered by ignorant paparazzi and population protests of small town Indiana, and life in the great outdoors challenges their safety and health in more than one way. Will the bond with their locked-out loved ones be strong enough to endure Ebola and its consequences?
