TV Face is a pulpy, horror webseries directed by Dean Bull and produced by David Britz. 99 Potions and Paradox Opera are the production companies associated with creating the show. It started its broadcast July 23, 2007 of its first episode of the 34-part series. However, before this release, several videos were released that claimed to be underground and banned videos from the 1980's. This left fans wondering if these were indeed legitimate archived videos, or videos concocted by the creators themselves.

TV Face has a rich canon of influences that brings the show its unique flavor. Harkening back to the "Video Nasties" blacklisted by The Video Recordings Act 1984 in the UK, the quiky and driven characters of TV Face search for these lost trashy gems. Interestinly, the characters treat this media with a strange level of reverence and sanctity. The script went through intense dramaturgy to embrace elements of Shakespearean and classical technique, the Suzuki Method style of abstract characterization (developed by Tadashi Suzuki); all while combining classical western play structure with eastern media sensibilities. The show itself favors bold artistic decisions.

Plot

Mitch (Scott Vickaryous), an obsessive collector and aspiring comic book artist ravenously snaps up rare horror VHS's to sell for big bucks in order to jump-start his career. The unlikely anti-hero undergoes physical "hero" training ordered by his Publisher to improve his drawings. Meanwhile, his female counterpart, Jessica (Lindsey Girardot), tries desperately to escape the Nightmare Circuit, a dreamlike otherworld, while struggling to remember her past. Obsessed with winning Mitch back as a friend and controlling his life, Randy (Jilon Ghai) stops at nothing to get the upper hand on Mitch.

When Mitch discovers "IL Bruto," the rarest horror film in the world, his training is put to the test as a supernatural rival, TV Face, appears; hell-bent on claiming the prize for himself. Aided by Jessica and sabotaged by Randy, Mitch struggles to get Il Bruto back from the dangerous Delilah, and trap TV Face inside Applegrove High's treacherous waterworks. With his life in the balance, Mitch attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding "IL Bruto," before facing losing everything he holds dear.
