A Webseries With Heart

Ron Purtee, creator of The Social Media Massacre has teamed up with award winning UK horror writer Garry Charles to bring us a dark tale of love, obsession and body mutilation.

Purtee's idea is to create short films based within the confines of our online social world, a series of vignettes that are confined by the limitations of the single camera set up. So far we have been treated to murder, suicide and envy fueled revenge, a steady build up of creeping terror preparing us for this journey into the mind of twisted lovers, brought to life on the screen by talented newcomers Shaun McGregor and Nikki Farce.

Anyone familiar with Charles' writing will know he has no qualms with crossing the lines of good taste and he does so here with what seems to be a knowing smile on his face, penning a script that manages to rub taste's nose in the dark stench of Taboo's darkest areas.

Unnerving, unsettling and already quoted as being “Totally effed up”... Here is From the Heart:

It's Gray Skies for Director Ron Purtee

Racine, Wisconsin, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) April 1, 2011 --
Coming this Summer from creators Shaun McGregor and Ron Purtee (The Social Media Massacre) comes a brand new web series that gives a new look into the world of hired killing.

GRAY SKIES follows Chuck and Shaun as they go from job to job, leaving a pile of bodies in the process. The only problem is now they have to contend with a spunky reporter and her camera man following their every mood and picking up on the fact that these may not be the most together hitmen on the planet.

"Shaun and I went through a few different things that we could do with this project", Purtee said. "and we couldn't figure out a way to describe the project in a fresh in way. Then we decided that based on the characters, this is like if Deadpool and The Punisher teamed up to do hits and just happened to be on The Office."

Production on the series starts in May, with the main characters already being cast. Chuck will be played by Charlie Bussian from The Social Media Massacre and Becoming Undead, while Shaun will be played by series creator Shaun McGregor. Episodes will be co-scripted and directed by Ron Purtee.
