A web-series of Mythology sure to entertain!
O-Cast is a mockumentary-style web-series created by the twelve Olympian gods of Greek mythology to broadcast their new lives as 20-something New Yorkers living in one apartment. Comedy ensues as they combine forces to convince the mortals of their modern relevance in order to save themselves from extinction.
Shot in high-definition and broadcast in short episodes online, O-Cast merges ancient legend with the power of viral video. Created and produced by New York University graduates of the YouTube generation, this intelligent, quick paced, and colorful comedy is right up the alley of classical mythology enthusiasts and fans of improvised humor.
Watch the pilot episode online October 26th, 10:30pm EST.
