RTE Storyland 2 - 2010 - Round 4

Forget the UK Elections 2010, Ireland's RTE's Storyland contest hits round 4.

So we're down to 3 remaining shows fighting it out to make it into the final two. Voting opened this morning and the new episodes are online. So much is at stake for the program makers, they know now that the hard bit isn't making the episodes (though it is hard and I should know... I've seen the pics and read the production blogs). The hard work is drumming up interest in their work and getting people to watch it, like it and vote for it.

...but could only find episode ones -- so here they are with links to the latest eps below...

PUNCHLINE - RTE Storyland 2 Pitch

The stand-up comedy scene is thriving in Ireland. But most comedians are not. PUNCHLINE is a drama revolving around the lives of three comedians in varying states of poverty, excess and general self-hate. Comedy is no laughing matter.

RTE STORYLAND 2 ENTRY - The Junior

So, it's turning out to be RTÉ STORYLAND 2010 day on StoryGas today...



Another entry up on YouTube for Irish broadcaster web series competition RTÉ STORYLAND
- which is great news, - this is how you build an audience from scratch.

Here's THE JUNIOR.

The Junior

A submission from Mercuryboy Inc for RTE's Storyland 2010. It's a satirical look at the ad industry through the eyes of a junior copywriter.

Shane and Joel have been in the industry 11 months and are still desperately trying to make a name for themselves before their first year review. Shane, the copywriter and main character, is neurotic and self-loathing and hates his team mate Joel. The show will monitor Shanes consistent self-sabotage and crumbling personal life.

What is star feck about ?


A Cavan Space crew (one half Monaghan) and a 3 ft alien called Romtox have a cargo to feck into Space...

"Starfeck is the best Sci-fi programme ever! Its like a mixture of Battlestar Galactica and Home and Away!"

Paddy is the hit TV show - Star Feck's biggest fan. He eat, sleeps and Breathes Star feck! Paddy and his mammy moved beside the "star feck spaceship" in Belturbet to help protect against alien invasion.

RTE STORYLAND - HARDY BUCKS for the win

From rte.ie/storyland:-

2009 WINNERS: HARDY BUCKS

RTE Entertainment story here:
http://www.rte.ie/arts/2009/0908/storyland.html
(thanks lg15today.blogspot.com)

Final episode Tuesday 29th September.

From Rental Boys twitter:
http://www.twitter.com/rentalboys

A big congratulations to the Hardy Bucks for winning the Storyland competition from all the Rental Boys - Well done lads!

Thanks for all the comments & support. We really appreciate it! We worked with a great cast & crew who'll no doubt go on to great things!

Show them some love over at
http://www.rental-boys.com/
- maybe they can find a way to keep it running?


PS - If you want to see the HARDY BUCKS LIVE...?

From Bulmerscomedy.ie:

Youtube phenomenon's The Hardy Bucks have just been announced as special guests to The Rubber Bandits Academy show 19th September.
Tickets for the show 15 euro including booking fee on sale now.

Hardy Bucks follows the escapades of four lazy, but likable lads from Castletown, Co. Mayo, as they struggle with the vicissitudes of life in small town, recessionary Ireland.

Followed by a documentary crew, they set about attempting to make money, and attract some ‘gamey women,’ all the while trying to avoid a confrontation with their 10-spot dealing nemesis, the Viper, in the local ball alley.

The live show combines the authenticity of the lads’ existences with the surrealistic aspects of some of the goings on and characters around the town.
