Many web series claim to offer awkward moments from the lives of their protagonists. This week's featured indie series takes that formula one step further: The protagonist is himself a walking, talking awkward moment. Actor Darrell Lake is the creator and star of The Incredible Life of Darrell, which delivers the funny through its deadpan lead.
The Incredible Life of Darrell is set in Wakooki, a fictional Arizona town. Darrell and his friends all grew up together, and that plot point drives a lot of the comedy. In the debut, for example, Darrell has a "Date Night" with his longtime crush (played by Tru Collins of MTV's Awkward), an event that mostly consists of a stilted conversation on the couch.
The decision to introduce characters who have known each other since childhood complements the fact that they are all varying types of grown-up kids. The second episode centers around a...

Check out this short film by Darrell Lake titled "A Silent Whisper;" a well-made 2-character, 1-location piece and I definitely dug it. Darrell is a one-man unit here because, not only did he write, direct, produce and serve as production designer of the short, he also stars in it! And he does a good job, considering the many hats he wore in making the film. The short was a semi-finalist in NBC Universal's Short Cuts Film Festival. The synopsis is doesn't tell you much ("A young man decides to take matters in to his hands"), so you have to watch the film to see it all unfold: Watch all 12-minutes of it below:...
