Daring new Web Series elicits Hollywood praise while blurring party lines
You don’t expect this level of ingenuity from an Iranian woman filmmaker. You don’t expect that from any woman filmmaker for that matter!
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 12, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- From the brilliantly twisted mind of Iranian filmmaker Ellie Shoja comes Stephen Dies!, a daring new web series that has Hollywood roaring with praise, in which rising star Stephen Moffatt becomes a modern-day phoenix, destined to meet an untimely and often hilarious death in every episode.— David Zucker
“The response has been astounding,” says Moffatt. “It’s amazing how one simple idea can snowball into something so much greater than any one of us.”
Since its launch in September 2015, the series has garnered much praise by some of Hollywood’s most elite members.
“You don’t expect this level of ingenuity from an Iranian woman filmmaker,” says comedy legend David Zucker, who is most famous for his trailblazing movies such as Airplane!, Top Secret! and the Naked Gun franchise. “You don’t expect that from any woman filmmaker for that matter,” Zucker adds, “much less one from a country whose regime so easily fooled our President into agreeing to that absurd nuclear deal.”
Jon Stewart, who earlier this year gave up his post at the helm of the popular The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, calls the series, “Imaginative and frankly fun to watch,” while Bill O’Reilly adds to the conversation by saying, “Stephen Dies! is a typical wobbly-minded Liberal fluff, the kind of shallow diversion, say, a Jon Stewart might like.”
“The fact that Stephen dies every Wednesday,” says spiritually progressive actor Richard Gere, “is a reminder of our immortal essence. We are so much more than our physical bodies, as the series reminds us, week after week.”
“As filmmakers, we spend most of our time creating in a vacuum,” says Shoja. “It’s encouraging to encounter such support. I can promise this: you ain’t seen nothing yet!”
When asked to respond to David Zucker’s comments about Iranian woman filmmakers, she said, “I think he’s secretly in bed with Iranians.”
