Amidst all the crazy hubbub of our world premiere back in June, Jenn Page of Makin’ it Happen sat down with Jonathan Nail and Allison Vanore to talk shop about SOLO – The Series and about what it takes to shoot your own web series including funding as a non-profit organization, writing a script for the first time, and how Twitter played an important part in it all.

Our hero, Scott Drizhal, is chosen to go on a solo, 3 year mission to Mars as part of a reality series. Unfortunately the show is canceled and Scott is now stuck on a round-trip ticket to Mars and back. With no company in deep space other than a smart-ass, artificially-intelligent ship computer (PHAL), his wife declaring him legally dead so she can claim the millions in insurance, a Napoleonic producer whose hubris lands him and the show into Japanese mafia infested waters and a malfunctioning, prototype ship that was never meant to fly to Mars… Hilarity ensues.
Starring Jonathan Nail, Michele Boyd, Jay Caputo, Jason Burns, Amol Shah, and Melissa Dalton.
A community post about Michele Boyd and her involvement with SOLO on watchtheguild.com. Michele also stars as Riley on The Guild. We’re excited to call her a member of our web series family. Yay, Michele!
