Seen all over the world, Videogame Theater is the history of videogames, as told by puppets.


The five-minute pilot attracted enough attention on the internets that MTV-Italy’s new QOOB network licensed a season of 13 new episodes, which aired across Europe in 2007.  Episodes have also been showcased on The Escapist website, GenCon Film Festival ’07, the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, and First Sundays Film Festival in New York City.

 



                              SCOTT CHERNOFF is co-creator of the

                              Adult Swim web series Kitten vs.

                              Newborn and can be seen regularly

                              in short comedy bits on ABC’s Jimmy

                              Kimmel Live.  Scott has also appeared on The Sarah Silverman Program, Tom Goes to the Mayor, a slew of national commercials, and in numerous videos at Channel 101.  He has written for MTV’s Big Urban Myth Show and is the former editor of Lucasfilm’s official Star Wars magazine and other cool/nerdy publications.   More videos by Scott at scottchernoff.com and andyandscott.com.
