Background on Indoor Boys
Inception: Wesley Taylor wrote an evening of short plays entitled "Proud of Us and Other Short Plays" that was produced as a benefit reading for The Actors Fund in New York City. Taylor brought one of those plays to Alex Wyse in Los Angeles with the intention of turning it into a web short. When the short was completed, the two felt there was more story to tell, and so the short became the pilot of what is now Indoor Boys.
Process: The series is written, directed, and produced, and edited by Taylor and Wyse, with Taylor and Wyse alternating writing and directing duties. The guerrilla operation has a three-person crew, with BranDon Smithson on camera, James Wasserman on sound, and Jenna Wittman doing makeup.
