The Coffee Table is a new sci-fi comedy web video series, created by Scotto Moore and produced by Stephen McCandless. The format of the show is fifteen 5-minute episodes, and the premise is very much Doctor Who meets Greatest American Hero a family discovers that their new coffee table is actually an ancient alien artifact, and they inadvertently activate it, sending their entire house hurtling through the void. The show centers on their struggle to get home, while defending themselves from various aliens who ring the doorbell looking to take the coffee table off their hands. The majority of the special effects will be old school analog style, with models, crazy lighting, underwater cinematography, etc. Oh, and the coffee table talks (of course).
Scotto was inspired by the concept of a bottle show in television: an episode that primarily takes place on the standing sets of a series, in order to save money. The Coffee Table was envisioned as a bottle series 90% of the show takes place within the house that is hurtling through the void, enabling multiple production economies while still offering a very unique indy sci-fi experience.
Supporters of the show can gain posters, DVDs with exclusive content, co-producer & producer credits, invitations to early screenings & cast/crew galas, and even walk-on roles in the show itself!
Scotto & Stephens last collaboration under the Caution Zero Network banner was Cherub The Vampire With Bunny Slippers a 25-episode parody of Joss Whedons Angel.
