John August (screenwriter for Big Fish and Corpse Bride) shot a pilot during the writers’ strike about a band of “The Remnants” after some sort of apocalyptic event in sunny Southern California. It’s like a comedic version of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, minus the nuclear winter bit.
Starring the inimitable Ze Frank among others, it is really quite enjoyable. Above is a clip from the middle of the eleven-minute episode, click through to Vimeo to see it in HD and for the whole thing.
