On the Outskirts

Inspiration

I learned the term "Moloch" this last year in an Aldous Huxley article I was reading, "Every idol, however exalted, turns out, in the long run, to be a Moloch, hungry for human sacrifice." And several years ago, I was reading Marshall Rosenberg's book, Nonviolent Communication; there's a line in that book that haunts me, "If we really loved our children, we wouldn't send them to war." And I was thinking about interesting sort of genre combinations that haven't really been done yet, and I wanted to do a horror sitcom. I was driving through Albuquerque and the idea just came to me.

What it does

Horror sitcom. Provides a solid framework to develop a long-term series full of dark, satirical, criticism of western culture and society.

How we built it

11Eleven Labs, Midjourney, Adobe Premiere.

Challenges we ran into

Heaps. Mostly time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I couldn't be prouder of the project.

What we learned

AI has a long way to go... It's wild though how much has come along even since I finished this project.

What's next for On the Outskirts

It's going to win this competition, get some critical attention, and a big studio is going to buy and franchise the series.
