THE C&E INTERVIEW: BRADFORD ANDERSON

On december 19th the fine folks at We Love Soaps announced the nominees for their 3rd annual Indie Soap Awards.  We were thrilled to find out that our own Bradford Anderson was nominated in the "Best Guest Appearance (comedy)" category for his portrayal of Achilles in episodes 7-9. 

Most C&E fans know that Bradford and I have been friends since freshman year at NYU.  In fact, he's the only person, that's been attached to the project longer than our original core crew (Andy, Jo Bozarth, Erin Wilson, and Jefferson).  I first came up with the concept and wrote the initial treatment while living with Bradford in NYC!  So, as you can imagine, I was really happy that he's getting some much deserved recognition for his performance. And so in honor of his nomination, and hopefully win, at the Indie Soap Awards we thought it'd be a great oppurtunity to chat with Brad about C&E, his training as an actor, and all the other projects on his plate.

Post-IAWTV Wrap up

Photo by Brenda WhiteWell, C&E fans, Avi and Jo are back in L.A. from Vegas and the 1st annual IAWTV Awards.

It was wonderful experience.  Sure we would have liked to take home one of those golden representations of the connected tubes that make up the Internet (the award still has no official name yet... any ideas) but the truth is, it really WAS an honor to be nominated.  We were in some amazing company, and it's exciting to have been a part of what we truly hope is the beginning of the next stage of evolution for Web Series.  We got to meet some dear friends and colleagues off-line for the first time, and we made many more. 

And now, all there is to say, before getting back to business as usual around C&E HQ, is thank you.

Thank you IAWTV for recognizing C&E alongside some our own favorite shows.  Thank you for putting on a great event, that was fun, educational (the Education track rocked) and brought together a lot of amazing people.

And thank you, our fans! You have become part of our family and it meant so much to us have you cheering us on throughout the nomination process, right up to the announcement of the award in our category. 

We hope those of you that watched at home enjoyed the show, and that you came away with soom cool new shows to check out.

2011, THE C&E YEAR IN REVIEW THANK YOU

It's hard to believe that New Year's Eve is already upon us.  Even harder to believe that it was a year ago, Jan 3rd to be exact, that we launched our 1st season of THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF CUPID & EROS in earnest.

It's been a wild ride and we wouldn't trade any of the the ups and downs for anything.  Today, we just wanted to use our blog to thank some of the people who've helped us along the way.  We were going to do it all via twitter, but then we realized we'd be flooding people's streams for at least an hour if we had to do things 140 characters at a time.

So a look back, and our thanks, after the jump.
