LOL is a 20 x 3-5min web drama series. Shot on the RED ONE and Sony XDCAM HD, edited in Final Cut Pro / mo graph in After Effects.

I wrote, directed and edited the series (including title sequence and VFX).

LOL explores the world of teen relationships, drugs and social networks. Fueled by peer pressure, 15-year-old Keely Cooper experiments with drugs and physical relationships. The series features a non-linear structure and contains flash forwards, showing scenes set 6 months later.
