Web Series SCRiBBLES Announces Upcoming Online Release In May

Join three NYC theatre artists, Lynnsey Ooten, Brandon Garegnani, and Jeane Reveendran, on May 9 and 12 for the screening of their award-winning web series, SCRiBBLES, at the NYC Indie Film Festival. The online release of Season One will follow on May 13, with 4 episodes airing every Monday this spring. SCRiBBLES tells the story of a depressed illustrator who's pushed to the edge of sanity when his latest drawing comes to life and forces him to face his demons.

"It's a dark comedy with fantastical elements that explores artistic inspiration, depression and how creativity is linked to wellness. SCRiBBLES vibrantly echoes the artist's need for expression and that, hidden within the grey areas of our pain, there is exuberant color waiting to be liberated. Confronting the darkest part of ourselves is often where we find the light."

- Lynnsey Ooten

The screenings and online release mark the beginning of SCRiBBLES' festival run. In addition to the NYC Indie Film Fest, SCRiBBLES has been officially selected for multiple festivals such as Minnesota WebFest and Big Apple Film Festival where it won Best Web Series.
