New WebSeries Alert: Gerald Langiri's 'SHIT HAPPENS'

After the success of the web series 'In the forest' back in 2013/2014, award winning Kenyan actor Gerald Langiri is back with yet another edgy but hilarious web series called 'Shit Happens'.

Described as a shitty web series that takes you through the life of one man whose life goes through...well...shit, 'Shit Happens' is a hilarious web series which will leave you looking forward to the next episode.

Collaboration between Life Dream Production and A Pembe Tatu Films, the web series is also produced and directed by Gerald Langiri who also acts as the protagonist.

The 1st webisode (or shitisode as they call it) is titled official shit and we see G at word minding his own business until one of his work mate sends him a very not suitable youtube video. While G is watching and visibly enjoying this the office snitch (there is always one)catches him in the act and reports G to the CEO. A lot of misfortunes and misunderstandings follow G until he finally gets fired. Is it a case of mistaken identity or none the wiser? You be the judge.

The Script was written by Maina Mundi who is also the editor. Maina wrote the script in 2012 but never had it produced. He approached Gerald Langiri who he already had in mind to play protagonist. Upon receiving the script, Gerald is said to have laughed so hard and immediately wanted to work on it. Gerald however saw that this could be developed to something bigger that just a standalone short film and decided to turn it into a web series instead.

The guy behind the web series has vowed to produce episode every month and hope people will enjoy to watch it as much as they enjoyed shooting it. Welcome to alternative TV where some of the things on the show cannot be dared to be seen on Kenyan TV.

#Script2ScreenAFRICA2017 FILMMAKING REALITY TV PROJECT: ACROSS 3 CONTINENTS AND 7 COUNTRIES, 60 FINALISTS, 15 STAR ACTORS & FILMMAKERS AS MENTORS, 20 SHORT FILMS ON SOCIAL JUSTICE, 1 FEATURE FILM

The African Film industry is set for a revolution through filmmaking, as High Definition Film Academy (HDFA) launches the 6^th edition of its Script2ScreenAfrica filmmaking and Acting Reality TV project, with the theme “Film as a catalyst for revolution!”. The Reality TV project which is scheduled to hold from July 1^st to August 26, 2017, will host 60 Finalists, 12 Star actors and trail blazing filmmakers as mentors, 20 Short films on Social Justice, and climax with a premiere of the short films at the 2017 Script2ScreenAfrica Awards.

Script2ScreenAfrica is High Definition Film Academy’s yearly intensive Hands on filmmaking and Acting training, involving three stages: Training, Short Film Competition, and Awards. The academy has successfully organized this training for 5 consecutive years, starting from its maiden edition in 2011/2012. Our 2017 edition is an upgraded and rebranded version of the previous editions; a Filmmaking and Acting REALITY TV project with focus on social justice filmmaking, and will span for Eight (8) weeks

In a time when our continent is overwhelmed with multiple social ills; corruption, injustice, inequality, lack of quality education, lack of power supply, poverty, and insecurity, we seek to train filmmakers with a vision to tell stories that will tackle some of the continent’s most pressing issues head-on, educate viewers while entertaining them, and hopefully pique effective action once the screen’s glow diminishes. Filmmakers who understand that film is an ideal catalyst for change, and linking a powerful story with a highly developed activist campaign could move public opinion and start a revolution.

Auditions across 7 states in Nigeria, 3 countries in Africa, U.S and UK (for Africans in the diaspora) will select 60 finalists into the 2017 Script2ScreenAfrica Reality TV project House. The 60 Finalists are separated into 6 teams of 10 finalists per team (5 filmmakers and 5 actors). Each team is headed by a combo of a star actor and a trail blazing filmmaker as their mentors.
