The much-awaited new comedy, "The Central Authority," has wrapped production. The film which satirizes the current world situation, is now complete, according to producers.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Californer -- Using the technology available, producers of the film, believe, "The Central Authority," is the first full length completely socially distanced feature film.
Written by Dana Olita and Kristin West, the film takes place in a dystopian future where a pandemic has caused the world-wide collapse of governments. A Central Authority has risen to maintain law and order and control the supply chain of goods and services. Because most people are stuck at home, entertainment has become a premium commodity. The Central Authority has created a channel for citizens to create their own content.
The film depicts a normal day of programming. The shows range from parodies of talk shows, cooking, exercise, and reality shows, children's programming and even a homemade music video complete with behind the scenes footage. Of course, there are fake news segments too. Interspersed throughout the day are reminders from the Central Authority, to "wash your hands," "wear your masks," and "keep a social distance." In exchange for creating this programming, citizens are compensated and given higher places in line for goods in short supply. Compensation is based on ratings of each show. However, if you fail to meet The Central Authority's minimum guideline, The Central Authority cancels your show, and your life.

The Central Authority has been a brave undertaking in these hazardous times. "We knew this was a huge endeavor going in," said West, who co-directed with Armin Nasseri. "We were forced to use the technology available, which meant doing some unusual things." Those "unusual things" included dusting off some archaic film techniques and using brand new processes. "We gave ourselves permission to fail," says West, "but things worked out fine in the end."
Those processes including having actors from all over the world come together on the screen. Actress Anna Elena Pepe, who plays Dr Zhivaga, a government sexologist, says it was an experience for her like no other, "I was in London, and my scene partner (LaChelle Allen) was in Los Angeles. 'It was fantastic.'"
"The actors were the key," according to Olita, "We basically let them pick and choose characters and wrote around their choices." West agrees, "We gave our actors a tremendous amount of freedom, there was a lot of improvisation. Everyone gave great performances and the chemistry the actors have with one and other is magical."
In addition to West, Olita and Nasseri, The Central Authority uses an ensemble cast of working actors, Tick Tock stars, comics and podcast hosts: LaChelle Allen, Brandy Bryant, April Monique Burrill, Jimmyo Burrill, Lilly Burrill, Candice Callins, Charles Chudabala, Rodney Damon Collins, Michael Coulombe, Lauren DeLeon, Vanessa Esparanza, Jonathan Freeman-Anderson, Sara Gaston, Katie Gordon, Nate Gordon, Joe Grisaffi, Josh Hutchinson, Betsy Johnson, Allison Michelle, Rory Ogden, Marco Antonio Parra, Anna Elena Pepe, Jake Red, Genoveva Rossi, Nailya Shakirova, Narlyia Sterling, Todd Stroik, and Cristina Vargas. Nasseri said he was "proud to work with such a strong group of diverse actors." Inclusion has been a recurring theme in Nasseri's films, with award winning shorts The Carting Call, and Seeking Valentina, already under his belt, Nasseri felt like this was the perfect vehicle for him as a director, editor and actor.
