The Eastmoor Project 2008 - 2012
The Eastmoor Project is a webshow that I created that was originally uploaded to Youtube from late Spring 2008 to Fall 2012. The show revolves around two main characters who live in the fictional town of Eastmoor, Texas. These characters are Johnny Darkness, a misanthropic metalhead who seems to hate everything except himself and his band, and Booger J. Johnson, a self proclaimed redneck who frequently gets into numerous predicaments because of his naivety.
Numerous other recurring characters have agency in the show as well, mostly in the form of obscure celebrity parodies or quirky supporting characters. My dad helped out with a great deal of the show and also wrote quite a bit of the show's material. Many of these additions I did not agree with, but I obligated to include them at the time.
Due to issues with some of the content and copyright issues I removed the show from YouTube around 2015 and was reluctant to reupload it because of the aforementioned issues, but after much consideration I have decided to reupload the episodes to YouTube with slight edits to remove some unnecessary content, mostly scenes that went on way too long.
Please be aware that this show features some stereotypical characters. I only portrayed these characters because I was living in a small town with an insanely small group of people that I knew. If I would have had more diverse actors available for these parts and more, I would have gotten them in the show. I was a teenager without a job, no ability to drive and very few friends (I was homeschooled).
It is important for us all to realize that stereotypes are not clear representations of any group of people and can do great harm. Nothing here should be construed as intentionally offensive to anyone, some of these characters are simply stereotypical archetypes of stock characters that were prevalent around the time the show was aired.
Things are different now, things are better now.
