    Con The Don - The official Mini-Series thread!

    Reply Quote


    Con Matterazzi stars as himself in Andy_Inc's new upcoming series of comi-crime shorts!

    When Con Matterazzi, rich and powerful Don of the Flaming Spades Family in central Melbourne gets bored in his spare-time, anything can happen! Watch as Con the Don gets up to nonsensical mischief... whether it be pulling pranks on the public, police, rival gang members, even his own family-gang members, selling his own merchandise, betting high stakes in dodgey games of pool or cards, or just being downright cheeky, whatever the Don says, goes, in this new series of shorts to hit TMO soon!

    `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
    All updates and progress on each episode will be posted in this thread, so also be sure you're watching out for updates, screenies, casting calls and even character profiles to be posted through the duration of the series as you become more acquainted with the characters.

    Currently, scripts are being written for the series, and the first episode is due within the next two weeks. I am aiming to release one episode every fortnight onto TMO.

    Here's a letter from Con the Don himself regarding the series and to clarify my use of his name/character likeness in the series (original letter was a 300 page manuscript... has been slightly adjusted):

    No, this is not like Underbelly, I'm sorry Stick out tongue [:P] (I haven't even seen it because it was banned here...) but just a fun bunch of 1930's gangsta shorts... In Technicolour!

    The first episode has been announced!

    The Hitman Strikes!

    This first episode inspired the whole series, as it was based off a fun entry I had in mind for The Hitman Strikes category in the LHNEYME competition by RavensFan.

    Con Matterazzi is bored and needs a new hitman to join his family, after the last one died from a very, very unfortunate accident... So he decides to find one... Con style!

                            Coming soon on the 4th of April!
