WATCHING PAINT DRY is a new play by Joey Povinelli, directed and produced by jpeg Productions.
Eloise Esteban is a critically and financially acclaimed artist who has never left the confines of her home. Her only contact with the outside is her manager, Dr. Thomas, who has conditioned her to be as productive as possible.
Eloise is content in this life, but recent events cause her to question the authenticity of her existence.
This piece is the ultimate live theatre going experience - not only through the words and performances; but through the impeccable scenic design incorporating original paintings from artist, Sathya Almaraz. Audience members are immersed in the artist's studio in the midst of the creation. This piece fulfills art fantasies.
WATCHING PAINT DRY premiered at The Bootleg Theatre in Los Angeles October 2019 after development at The Bootleg Theatre + Marymount Manhattan College. The original cast consisted of Ella Clover, Skip Pipo, Sarah Ritter, and David Long.
INTERITUS ADFECTUS is a new short film directed and produced by jpeg Productions, written by Joey Povinelli, starring Ella Clover.
A graduate student cultivates a new species of mushroom that overtakes her apartment and sanity.
A psychological horror that explores dreams, and why we do, or don't, follow them through the lens of an insecure scientist who prematurely ingests her innovations.
Interitus Adfectus is that which destroys you from within. It's the unrealized dream that becomes a fear which rots and festers until the dreamer is a husk.
Mary's mushrooms will take you on a journey to uncomfortable places. Or, at the very least, gross you out.
Interitus Adfectus is currently touring the United States, having won the Pink Tentacle Award for Short Film at Bizarroland Film Festival, Best Horror Short, and Best First Time Director at Indie X Fest, and receiving a nomination at the prestigious Tucson fest, Horrorigins.
MARTINI HOUR is a live variety show hosted by Joey and Ella consisting of standup, musical performances, and interviews with the freakiest folks alive.
It's not your typical talk show.
The show is narrated with insight and antagonism by the hosts and their band leader-trusty servant, half-man, half-dog, (all-bastard) named Prinston. Something sinister is always on the verge of spilling over.
The show was set to premiere in June 2020, but was postponed due to covid. The show will premiere in 2024 in Los Angeles.
