Thanks Brian, glad you're enjoying it! I think Nicole did a fantastic job with her one-on-one interview. It's funny. The majority of the people involved in this aren't really actors, per se (cue 'yeah, it looks it!' jokes)... but Nicole has been an actor (actress) for a while, and so I took the time to write a really great and long role for her, and she just knocked it out of the park.

All of that, that she did, was one long take. Just awesome.

Hi all.

My name is John Painz, and I recently released the first of 9 episodes of my web series "8 for Vegas". You can see it here (NSFW because of language):

It was shot at Society Billiards in NYC over the course of about four months, and we had a blast filming. We're very happy with the first episode, and hope you enjoy it.

We plan to release an episode a week, on Fridays.

You can check out other videos and info on the series here:

Thanks! I look forward to hearing what you thought of it.

Very well done.

Thank you,

Loved the part in Episode 4 about STDs...

"We didn't find any condoms when we were looking through your apartment."

Very good stuff... Can't wait to see more.

I am also curious how much of this is scripted because it seems pretty improved at points, which makes it funnier.

WOW!!! I just watch the first episode.

This show is portraying (IMHO) a pretty realistic view of how most

folks in the APA, view the sport of pool in general. Boy, is this series gonna

paint a picture (to the general public) of how the grass roots APA players,

view the sport of Pool, and Pro Pool Players in general. Another look at

the inseparable connection between those 2 distinct worlds in "pooldom!!!":rolleyes:

I would say 80-90% of the show is scripted. Every once in a while, like that moment, especially during the interviews, I would just get everyone talking and riffing off of the question of the day.

Maebe, who plays Jennifer, was the best to riff off of. Plenty of outtakes with her that I'll be posting when I get back from vacation!

watched episode 1 earlier today. just came home and watched ep 2 to give it a fair chance and to find sth to keep me from studying, but to me, it wasnt
entertaining. love to see something done about pool though and as i can see from the responses so far, people enjoy it, so kudos and keep it up.
 
Just watched all the episodes. Very entertaining, thank you for you work and effort.:thumbup:

We took a bit of a break for the holidays. Only 3 episodes left!

I hope you all had a fine Thanksgiving, and that December is looking like a good month, for a nice holiday break, gifts, spending time with friends and family, and so on.

All the best - John
 
I watched all of the episodes and it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Looking forward to next season.

Best,
