Hey, everyone. I need to ask a favor.
At present, my cast and crew are hard at work helping me stage my first writing/producing attempt at a one-person show. “Anno Machina” is an apocalyptic work of sci-fi in which the human race is steadily dying, leaving artificially sentient machines to try and figure out how to move forward without the humans they were built to serve. It’s an allegory for children grieving their dead parents, with AI positioned as the metaphorical children of humankind.
A brief yet significant storyline of the play involves the “#WithABang” trend. This is a (blessedly) fictional social media trend in which everyone is going online to try and one-up each other in terms of awesomely ridiculous stunts. If you will, imagine what you would do, what you would try, what you would post on Instagram and TikTok if you knew for a fact that the world was going to end tomorrow.
Of course, my team is more than capable of looking up videos on YouTube to fill out a montage as much as we need. Even so, my cast and crew know a great many wonderfully talented people and we want to give them a chance to get in on the fun. So if you’ve got an idea for a ten-second clip or a still photo — and if you can make it without anyone getting actually hurt — it would be gratefully received in the comments below or at curiosityinc@gmail. Ideally, we’d have everything in hand by 09/06/2025.
Thanks for your consideration.
