The plan is to take their character models and repurpose them for a live action setting. Rebuilding the textures to make them look like giant angry statues.

SLOW DOWN ATLANTA

bruck — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:10:08 +0000

TV PILOT. 22 Minutes. A Scary-Funny “Slacker Office Satire” Being Staged & Filmed for Mixed Distribution. Darkness emerges when a group of slack thirty-somethings start a paranormal services company for beer money.

The series title, Slow Down Atlanta, pokes fun at personal and southern ghosts, both literal and figurative, and how they slow our cultural progress. The themes of the six episodes range from internet gaming, marriage, strippers, immigrant culture, and modern racism, sexism, and homophobia. Formative years full of movie and comic book education, coupled with rampant ADHD characteristics, and a lack of any discernible skills, leave the slackers facing repeated issues in each episode. It’s a comedy, with substance.
