Casting Call: Patriots Super Fan Comedic Digital Short

by

Excited to announce that I’ll be producing some scripted comedic content this summer and we’re immediately looking for local actors and comedians who might like to be a part of it.

For the first project, I’m reaching out first to my readers of PatsPropaganda, the most passionate Patriots fans I know. While we’d love people with acting and (possibly) improv experience, what matters most is getting authentic Patriots fans.

For this scripted digital short, we’re especially looking for funny couples! Have a spouse or significant other that’s just as passionate as you and wants to have some fun as well? Perfect! Submissions with two people who already know each other and can play a couple will get first consideration for this first episode.

Otherwise, we might match our single auditioners, who are still very much welcome, especially if they have improv/comedy experience. Future episodes can be tailored to actors we like even if they don’t quite fit episode 1.

For consideration, please send me an email (patspropaganda@gmail.com) with a link to any previous acting experience, reel, etc. If you don’t have experience but are still interested (we’ll be looking for crew too!) please feel free to send me an email! Subject: DIGITAL SHORT

Today Patshow #102!

by

Very excited today as we will be shooting episode number two of Patshow — a new Facebook live show with yours truly alongside the hardest working man in Boston, Nick Stevens aka “Fitzy” and WAAF’s Matty and Nick show.

Keep an eye out around 11am EST, when we’re aiming to go live.

You might’ve caught episode one, we purposely kept it a bit quiet as we worked out the bugs. But it went far better than we hoped and now we’re thrilled to ramp Patshow up.

The plan is to make Patshow a bi-weekly event, a recap show on Mondays and a preview show on Fridays. But it will be so much more than just me and Nick talking Pats. We’re going to put the full might of our creative skills behind Patshow, including digital shorts, sketches and tons of other fun things that I can’t wait to share.

I promise there is nothing else out there like this and our aim is to make being a fan fun again. We’re not going to spew angry hot takes at you. We’re going to take down those hot takes with smart analysis and the kind of entertainment that embraces being a fan.

The creative team behind Patshow is second-to-none. We’ve partnered with Ian Barrett, Erin Hayes and Paul Bouley of MediaBoss in Framingham to deliver a polished production that looks like it belongs on real television. MediaBoss can do everything — remote location shoots, green screen, etc. and we hope to utilize all their talents in helping us create Patshow.

So run now and like our Facebook page and our Twitter handle. Pencil in episode #103 comong Monday, August 28 before we start banging them out twice a week.

Thanks for tuning in and spreading the word to your Pats pals!

Can a Butler Do It Again for Patriots?

by

Adam Butler, an unsigned rookie free agent defensive linemen out of Vanderbilt, has turned heads in the last week of Patriots training camp. Saturday’s scrimmage had him showing up in quite a few reports:


Greg Bedard (Boston Sports Journal):

DT Adam Butler continues to be impressive. The best young interior pass rusher. Little weak against the run.

Butler was one of the undrafted rookies that I didn’t take a close enough look at in the preseason, despite him checking a number of versatility boxes — he played all along the defensive line and even some offensive line.

Now it appears that the undrafted rookie could have a shot at actually making the team. Granted we’re just 10 days into camp and have yet to see him in any game action, but on a team famous for their undrafted rookies, Butler appears to be making an early push.

Let’s take a closer look at Butler and what he might bring to the Pats.
