SAMPLE PRESS RELEASE - www.orionroad.com

ORION ROAD

The most hotly anticipated show of the fall season!
Starring a cast of up and coming superstars, Orion Road introduces us to 24th Century London as we have never seen it before.

“After the shock death of his guardian, Scott Starsplitter returns home to Orion to live with the family that sent him away. Scott and popular bad boy Jason Orion (childhood co conspirator in the fateful elementary school explosion which only Scott took the rap for) have the kind of reunion that makes you wish you were a solar system or two away, as they battle for the affections of Binky, the too hot to be a teacher school councilor … all in a day’s work for a teen soap. Tick every box”
This science fiction teen dramedy is a spin off from the makers of hit 90s Canadian series – Cosmos City.

To capture this history in the making, a documentary team has been given unprecedented access to the cast, crew and executive team.
The documentary promises to be celebrity reality at its best: all the bitch fighting back stabbing glory of tangled love lives, wannabe diva behavior and desperation for credibility expected from any self respecting member of the C list. Britney and Kevin, Nick and Jessica, Osbournes – watch out…

Except

Orion Road does not exist. It never did. But let’s not let a little thing like reality get in the way of reality tv.

Orion Road… Revealed

Orion Road will be launched in a blaze of utterly shameless publicity… all as though it is a real show, with unsuspecting press, public and celebrities knowing nothing more than that the cast of this new show will have a camera crew following them. Our actors will have to deal with whatever comes their way during real time shooting – from being refused entry or sent to the back of the line to being blown off by the celebrity they are determined to be papped with to fielding questions from – or being ignored by – real press and paparazzi. All while in character and embroiled in the storyline for the episode.

A spoof fly on the wall documentary-sitcom that satirizes the smoke and mirrors cult of the vacuous celebrity.
Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Star Magazine… with a delicious Ali G style twist…
