Fruit of my Loins is an award winning adult animated comedy television pilot written and created by Will Kisor and Gage Swanston. This video is a full length proof of concept created entirely using Lego stop motion. For business inquiries, email priamsproductions@gmail.com. We made this with Legos.

A brand new adult animated television pilot following two zany stick figures who must solve the bizarre and surreal problems that plague their 2-dimensional town of Squiggleville. We made this for nothing. Imagine what we could do with a team and a budget.

I got to thinking about the summer (1976) I spent on the road all over Central Iowa to help a truck driver deliver pop for a local soft-drink bottler. That experience ended up becoming a half-hour sitcom pilot I wrote for a screenwriting class I took three years later at Iowa State University. That script was called "Long Way..." and it involved a pair of newcomers to driving for a soft-drink bottler. Not long after I joined Stage 32 (January 2019), another member (Cannon Rosenau) encouraged me to revisit "Long Way." Now...it's a feature-length script where the granddaughters of those two truckers I wrote about in 1979 want to drive big rigs, too. (Currently, one granddaughter's a food server; the other is an office worker. And they're annoyed with those two gigs.) Well...here's the ScreenplayIQ video to prove it. (Thanks for the inspiration, Cannon!)

This is a recording of Scorecard, a short comedy play presented as part of the Boardshorts festival at the 1812 Theatre. Filmed with permission of everyone involved including John E. Ford, the writer. I directed and created the set and background. So much fun. People laughed. Unfortunately I recorded it on the spur of the moment on my phone so the quality is pretty naff.
