Experiencing Interruptions?

Clickbait: The Show

When the CEO and Founder of VYooTube.com, the largest online video streaming website in the world, cuts his children out of their inheritance, he gave them a challenge: One million subscribers and you win everything. Now Elton Tube, the wacky but creatively challenged middle child, must gather a crew of dynamic but incompetent filmmakers in hopes of beating his mad scientist brother and spoiled princess sister in a ridiculous race to internet fame.

Director Statement

My name is Ephraim Birney. I am an actor, writer and aspiring Topher Grace look-a-like. Most of my credits are theatrical, where I seem to have been typecast as the character with no lines. You can also see me smoking weed in The Americans or getting stabbed in the neck in Gotham. Truly as journeyed a career as they come.
