Drag Queens and rap stars and pop princesses- oh my! We're not in Gan Adan anymore...
A new anthology series that focuses on a different character's life for the duration of a year begins this December. Season One follows fallen rock star, Gwendolyn Fay in her pursuit of happiness... which of course depends on everyone and everything else around her. Set in Hollywood, CA- will the former Queen of Rock turn her life around by the end of the year?
The series is written and created by Monroe Hayden who magically created Fox and produced by Hunter Tabiendo and Daniel Rodriguez. The season is directed by newcomer, Ricky Garcia, who is better known for playing Brian Whittaker in Fox. The show also stars Hayden and Garcia as the leading roles, Gwendolyn Fay and her ex- husband, John Black. Other Fox alumni include Terrell Cooper as Kelvin Harris, Angel New as Emaya, Hunter Tabiendo as Penolope Beefcake, Jorgie Mason as Eliza and Steven Acedo as Miguel.
"We love Fox and love that genre but we also love satires. We love films and shows that make fun of life yet reel it in when things need to, so you get just enough reality yet can still laugh through all the mishaps. It wasn't until we all got together when we realized that we're playing ourselves, just an overly exaggerated version," Monroe Hayden said about the production. "365 is about redemption and it's about letting go and growing up."
"Makeup is really fun when its challenging and this show had its challenge," makeup artist, Liz Lanz Shattner said about her experience with transforming Hunter Tabiendo into drag queen sensation, Penolope Beefcake. "There's a lot more work that goes into Hunter's makeup than Monroe's." Drag queen's aside, the show proves to have its other challenges for the makeup department that differ from SkySoft's previous show; era's. As we follow Gwendolyn on her road to redemption, we are swept back and forth throughout time ranging from the years, 2000 - 2017.
From wigs to eyeliner, each decade represents a certain event in Gwen's life whether it's the rise of her career or the fall of her marriage- specific years become essential stamps to the story and Lanz- Shattner is the wizard with the wand to transform our young actors into their characters. Gwen and John were 21 when they were married and divorced at 28. By the time we meet them it's been 10 years and the former couple are now 38 years old. Bags under the eyes, smile lines and gray hair come with the package!
