New FearNet show screened on campus
Horror-movie-director-turned-sitcom-star Adam Green was at Emerson’s Bright Family Screening Room Tuesday night to show students three advance episodes of his new FearNet original series, Holliston. He was joined by cast members Joe Lynch, Laura Ortiz, and Corri English.

The show, set in the small town of Holliston, Massachusetts, follows the lives of Adam and Joe, two friends chasing the dream of becoming successful horror movie filmmakers while struggling to make ends meet and dealing with life and the dating in their post-college jobs at a Boston–area cable TV station.
Following the screening of the pilot episode and episodes three and four, the Holliston team invited the audience to ask questions and gave some background on their project’s history. Green, the creator, writer, director, and star of the show, told the audience “the idea for this show came over 13 years ago. I wanted to make a show a little bit about my life and growing up in Holliston…but everything in this business is timing.”
Green discussed the influence his hometown of Holliston has had on his career through the years and swapped stories with other Holliston natives in the audience. The town, he said, was the perfect setting for a show based on his life.
