YOUR MAIN THING was created by Jill Pangallo, who also directs and acts in the series. YMT features a cast of talented actors from the NYC downtown comedy, theater and cabaret scenes who are known for their top-notch improvisational skills. DP Seth Kirby and PC Nica Ross, both of whom have extensive expertise creating fresh visual approaches to a wide range of multimedia projects, lead the production team. Some of what makes YOUR MAIN THING unique is that the cast greatly contributed to the show’s writing in the form of their own individual character development and on-screen improvisation. The actors were solely responsible for their character’s back-story and wardrobe. Other than knowing they were being taken on a weekend retreat with a former celebrity, the actors were not given any information ahead of time so that the relationships and storyline developed in real-time. YOUR MAIN THING was shot in three days, on location in the Pocono Mountain Region.
