Originally slated to be a film, Feederville is now being adapted into a TV mini series to fully explore its intrinsical circle of characters within its mind-boggling plot twists.
Described as a blend of Euphoria and an older version of Stranger Things, set in the college days of 1987, the large ensemble cast in the series aims to help launch the careers of many actors, much like Dazed and Confused did.
The story follows Taylar Simpson as her family moves into town to escape the effects of the mysterious “Hitch Hiker Effect.” Burke promises a narrative that defies conventional genres, leaving viewers to wonder if they’re watching a supernatural thriller, a horror story, or something entirely different. “In a film, you typically follow the three-act structure, but Feederville breaks all the rules,” says Burke. His intro video here:
“With so many twists and turns, it made more sense to expand it into a series. This format allows us to delve deeper into the characters and build up the drama for an even bigger payoff with the major plot & character twists.”
One of the unique aspects of the project is the tarot card symbolism hidden throughout the show, as Easter eggs for viewers. Each tarot card will represent the thoughts and emotions of the character(s) in the scene and reflect the mental state and story arch of our main protagonist.
Ultimately, “Feederville” transcends conventional narratives, masterfully weaving dreamscapes, reality, and the inexplicable to deliver a truly immersive and thought-provoking television experience….you’ll be kept guessing all the way up until the final post-credits mystery scene.
With the massive success of series like Stranger Things and Euphoria, Feederville is poised to captivate audiences with its mix of Nightmare on Elm Street, The Sixth Sense, The Wicker Man, and even a touch of Thelma & Louise.
Expect a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns as the story unfolds and they find themselves in the belly of Feederville itself, when things start to get really weird.
