Being Eve 1 - 13 x 1/2 hr TV Drama & Comedy (2001)
Distributor: Fireworks Entertainment
Something completely different and original, this comedy-drama is a fresh, up-beat look at early teen life seen through the eyes of 15-year-old Eve.
Eve is the voice of this series – literally. Her thoughts are heard loud and clear as she muses – either directly to camera or in voiceover - on what it means to be a teenager in the new millennium and where she fits into all this.
Eve is an anthropologist and a philosopher. She asks big questions, small questions, all questions.
Being Eve doesn't impose moral issues on its viewers. Nor does it patronize its target audience. It takes for granted that its audience want to be enlightened and they want to laugh. It poses philosophical questions that Eve attempts to make sense of ….that's if there's any to be found.
For our target audience moving from childhood to adulthood, experiencing everything for the first time – there's an awful lot of anxiety. Being Eve provides them with the opportunity to laugh with the characters they identify with.
Media savvy teenagers looking for something new are excited by the series' innovative style. Being Eve goes where no teen drama has gone before – flicking easily from drama to documentary style, where characters are talking directly to camera, to fantasy sequences, animation, stills, computer graphics, music video clips and whatever stylistic means best communicate Eve's thoughts and dilemmas.
Being Eve series one and two is coming to DVD late October, 2007. Distributed by Roadshow Entertainment.
