"It took a lockdown... for us to open up."

​

Viral Vignettes is a  comedic feature film, filmed during Covid, starring popular character actors from classic TV shows,and movies. 

Originally created as a web-series fund-raiser for the Actors Fund, the feature is composed of twelve short vignettes, fully scripted and set in the early days of the Covid Pandemic. Stars play characters talking to each other over Zoom, Skype or FaceTime, dealing with the ups and downs of life, during that very strange and unprecedented time. 

​

Viral Vignettes was the brainchild of producer David Levin, early in the period of sheltering in place. “It occurred to me that musicians were creating concerts in their living rooms.

Comedians were doing stand-up in their bathrooms. Talk shows in basements and garages,” Levin said. “But scripted content had come to a dead stop.”

Participating celebrities in the Viral Vignettes series include Robert Wuhl, Barry Bostwick (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, “Spin City”), Gail O’Grady (“NYPD Blue”, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, She's Having a Baby), John Schneider (“The Dukes of Hazzard”, “Smallville”), Don Most (Happy Days), Renee Taylor ("The Nanny”), Audrey Landers (“Dallas”, A Chorus Line) The writers range from veteran network comedy show runners and award-winning playwrights to newcomers, adding their own unique voices to the mix.  

​

Twelve episodes were produced and have now been combined into one feature film.
