Experiencing Interruptions?

(un)balanced: a web series

This is the story of a young woman Melissa, attempting to find her center. The obstacle? Why, that would be the insanity of living in New York City. Through 5 comedic episodes she attempts to jump into this "new age" life-style and is thwarted - either by her own conflicting beliefs or the the city that never sleeps. Is balance an illusion? Or something which is difficult to attain but worth the effort?

Director Biography - Cory Stonebrook

Cory grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, OH where he fought for attention being the only boy among three crazy sisters. Watching old American classics such as Singin in the Rain and An American in Paris with his Grandma, he developed a love for both Cinema and Theatre. Even at an early age, Cory found euphoria in expressing himself through the arts and making people laugh. Being a lurpy, awkward teenager, he developed his unique sense of humor.

You can catch Cory as of late in the Comedy Central web series New Timers created by Matt Porter and Charlie Hankin as well as playing Brian Regan's assistant in a bit for his Live Comedy Central special. Cory is the creator, director and lead actor of Sensitive: A Web Series and is one of the founding members of Green Apple 2 Step Productions. www.corystonebrookactor.com

Director Statement

Writer/Creator Megan MacPhee's statement:
"(un)balanced is in parentheses because I love the illusion of balance, can it be truly be consistent? I believe it is defined differently by everyone. I think everyone can relate to the anxieties which can creep up on a daily basis. I want to explore the comedy in the paradox of striving for "balance" while still staying true to living your life and making the "short-term fun choice". As an artist, living in NYC in particular, a healthy mind, body and spirit are paramount to a successful journey and career. I found humor in my attempts to find this nirvana for myself and the obstacles the city presented. I think there is always charm, humor and nobility in the effort.
