Bronx World Travelers - Episode 1 - Press Conference

Here is the first episode of my web series Bronx World Travelers. The series focuses on the Washington Colonels, the team that loses every game to the Bronx World Travelers (think Harlem Globetrotters). In the first episode we see the Washington Colonels' coach in a press conference after their 125th loss in a row. This episode was nominated for two Webby Awards - Best Short Film and Best Writing.

Perfect! Although, technically speaking, the Harlem Globetrotters dump a bucket of actual water on the Washington Generals. It's only when they dump the bucket over a person in the stands that it's confetti.

In future episodes, you could have scandals where the coach is caught betting on the Colonels which causes him to get banned from the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Perfect comment Ross! Although, technically speaking, the coach caught betting on games was banned from the Baseball Hall of Fame, not the basketball one.

In future comments, you could have thoughts about new characters being introduced on the show.

Perfect! I liked the part where the Colonels new star forward, Gus Dressler, played by Nick Kroll, pees his pants.

were you to compile stats on my internet comment history, you'd conclude that I think about 95% of all internet contributions came from from retards. That's what i said: 'retards'! This passes, though, this is very good stuff. A gold star for you, you made it into the the 3rd upper std. dev. congrats.

Very good stuff-lots of internet stars in this vid-was that Derrick at the end, and is the coach the guy from the daily show?

Not since Moe on the Simpson’s bet for the generals has there been such a good parody

I work in film and television and everything about your production editing,directing talent and all was really superb!!
I am sure you were on a budget and it looked great!
