New Web Series ‘Famous Farrah’ Pokes Fun at Hip-Hop Culture (Trailer)
2012 was a great year for web series, and 2013 seems to be starting off great.
Famous Farrah, pokes fun at the entitlement of the rich, hip hop culture and the desire to be famous.
2012 was a great year for web series. We watched the growth of Awkward Black Girl. Black & Sexy TV gave its viewers a series of great shows, WIGS put out some great produced material, and shows like Between Women gave us drama to live for.
With filmmakers, writers, and directors taking their voice to the web, the internet has now become the hot spot to watch entertainment. 2013 is already starting to look great, as new web series are being introduced. When I opened my email about this new web series, I couldn’t pass up introducing this series to our readers.
Famous Farrah, pokes fun at the entitlement of the rich, hip hop culture and the desire to be famous. The series follows infectious disease scientist Farrah as she becomes a member of the hapless, questionably talented, Cake Boys rap crew.
*FAMOUS FARRAH* is a clever, but not too cool, daffy, but not slapstick spoof on the hip-hop game.
As her 26th birthday approaches, Farrah Satrapi (Kathreen Khavari) realizes that she’s bored with her monotonous, sterile life in the lab. After John (Mike Ivers), her Wall St. big-shot fiancé, forgets her birthday, Farrah’s wannabe socialite sister Ava (Giselle Vasquez) takes her out for the celebration she deserves. During their night out on the town, Farrah has a chance encounter with The Cake Boys — a floundering rap group looking for a gimmick to put them on the map. After meeting Farrah, crew leaders Mac Illa (Lamar Cheston) and Greg Greasy (Eden Marryshow) are convinced that once they make her their “Fergie,” they’re bound to take over the game. Deciding she needs a little spice in her life, Farrah accepts the offer and the comedy ensues. “The Famous Farrah team hopes to bring a fresh meaning to the idea of career change and transformation with the new comedy series,” says director Talibah Newman.
Directed by award-winning director Talibah Newman, produced by Khaliah Neal, and written by Chuck Neal, the first season will be nine episodes airing monthly.
The plot definitely sounds interesting. Check out the trailer below for this new comedy I’m sure will make you laugh.
The series premieres January 17th at 9 a.m. on their website
