WRITER/DIRECTOR OF UPCOMING EPISODE 'VIRAL' ALSO DEVELOPED MYSTERY ANTHOLOGY SERIES WITH BROTHER

The anthology TV series Dark/Web, which explores themes related to our connected world, is still shopping for a home, but plans to be released sometime this year. The series was developed by brothers Michael and Tim Nardelli. Michael has written and directed an episode titled "Viral", and states in a Facebook post today that the style of the episode "was partially inspired by classic Brian De Palma films. As such, DP Sheldon Chau and I got a wee bit crazy with a split diopter to establish the visual language of a psychologically tormented young gal." The post, pictured above, is accompanied by a still from the episode that uses a split diopter.
The DARK/WEB Facebook page outlines the plot of the first season:
When Ethan (Brian Elerding), Sam (Lana McKissack) and James (Michael Nardelli) find themselves the target of cryptic emails from someone posing as their childhood friend Molly (Noemi Gonzales), they assume she’s been the victim of an all-too-common hack. After they reach out to alert her, however, they discover that Molly’s been missing for months and no one has any idea what happened to her. As the emails keep coming, each containing a tale written by Molly, her friends realize that this may be more than just a sick joke. Someone has hidden information in the stories, details pulled from real life that point them to people and places from Molly’s past; clues that may lead them to their missing friend, or something far sinister. DARK/WEB’s unique structure combines the classic, standalone stories traditionally found in an anthology with an overarching, season-long mystery.
