A new short, soon to premiere on Funny Or Die is essentially a pilot for a new web series.

Goldenberg became a Youtube star in 2006 when he posted a series of videos that featured the young actor/comedian attempting to put lyrics to some of cinema’s most memorable (and solely instrumental) film scores. Frustrated at the lack of major comedic roles available to him, he jumped at the chance to create a web series that would display his comedic talents and his abilities as an actor.

Strange things happen when you get really comfortable with someone, and you know no one else is watching.

“I feel like a lot of web based comedy is very loud, obnoxious, short, to the point, and there’s nothing wrong with that but for me it all sort of blurs together as just noise. I think the show takes its time without dragging. I think that this season, We wanted it to feel like a legitimate show, so I was a little less afraid. It’s okay if there’s a scene or two that isn’t hilarious, because it’s telling a story.”

Finding a creative partner can be a lot like dating – for creators Tarah Consoli and Elliot Joseph their own chance meeting served as a basis for the series they would create.

“Mostly, we would just tell each other all the dumb things we’ve ever said or done for/to someone we cared about. Then as we cried into each other’s arms, we would mold the episodes from there and I would think about seeing a therapist,” creator Eric Goldberg on the show’s writing process.

Trying to get back into the dating game after dedicating yourself to a career? Meet Savannah Love, a character who finds herself in what is becoming a new normal for modern, independent, and driven women.

“I love this idea of a guy who’s earnest. You usually see women who’s earnest and romantic and I wanted to reverse that idea, play with that, like what if a sensitive, sweet guy went out looking for love and met all the wrong women”

Described by its creator and star Luke Anthony as a “road sign guide to sex”, READ THE SIGNS is set to premiere its first season of 8 episodes in March of 2014
