Emmy and Indie Series Award-winning actress and producer Martha
Byrne will produce and star in the upcoming dramedy, Weight. |
A brand new Indie comedy series,
Weight, is on the way with three heavyweights from multiple platforms involved: Writers Guild Award-nominated digital writer and producer, Daryn Strauss (
Downsized), Indie Series Award-winning and two-time Emmy Award-winning actress and producer Martha Byrne (
As The World Turns,
Gotham), and veteran primetime network television producer and director Frederick King Keller (
Crisis,
24).
Weight (#weighttheseries) will begin production this summer.
The series is penned by Strauss, who was nominated for a Writers Guild Award for her hilarious and through-provoking first web series
Downsized, a dramedy about middle class New Yorkers trying to adjust to the absurdities of life during the economic crisis. Byrne joins the project as star and producer with King Keller set to direct.
