Welcome to another edition of the Fred & Dan Blog! Our mission with Fred&Dan Productions and this blog has always been to make people think in ways they’ve never done before - to spark creativity and facilitate conversation in unconventional ways. A place where you can open up your email and have a bit of creativity to take with you into your day or week!

STRIKE UPDATE

As always we’ll start with the strike updates! Not too much to update you on, except for the fact that the strike continues. This week a whole bunch of famous actors (i.e. Meryl Streep, heard of her?) signed a letter urging SAG-AFTRA to stand strong on their contracts and go on strike if their demands aren’t met. And shoutout to this fellow Bay Area guy who showed up to strike with writers at universal this week!

FRED & DAN UPDATE

We are so excited to announce Can I Just Have A Minute? by Big Cookie Productions LLC, in association with Fred&Dan Productions! Can I Just Have A Minute? is a five episode comedy webseries created by our dear friend Tyler Peterson, who has worked with Fred&Dan on previous projects. This satirical comedy follows two disillusioned office workers who decide to try to start a “light” pandemic so they can return to lockdown. This comes from the same producing/creative team who brought you the webseries Jennifer & Chicken, and we are so excited to come on to it as Executive Producers! We’ll be bringing you along on this journey as we produce the series from start to finish. If you’ve ever been curious as to the inner workings of bringing an independent series to life, stay tuned and subscribe!

That’s all we have for today! We would love to hear what you have been enjoying about the blog and how we can best use this space to inspire or, better yet, entertain you! Feel free to reply directly to this email or drop a note to fredanddanprod@gmail.com!

We are accepting submissions for our next zine Subliminal. If you are interested in submitting or know anyone who is, let us know or follow this link!

Until next week, these two clowns are signing off. Happy Friday!
