In it we follow the lives of the staff of two competing DVD rental chain stores in the Dublin suburb of Finglas. Our main character is Brian, an aspiring sci-fi scriptwriter and the lethargic assistant manager of “Movie-visions”, the rental store that also specialises in most electronics.
His average working days generally include run-ins with; his long-suffering manager Pawel, an array of crazy customers and his arch nemesis, Darren, a struggling actor with a great tan who’s the senior staff member at “Filmbusters”, - the store where you can avail of sunbeds and diet pills with every new-release rental.
There are a total of 6 rounds in the Storyland competition. In each round, one of the 10 finalist entries will get eliminated based on online votes. The remaining entrants will go on to make another episode of their TV shows. The winner will get to make the whole six episodes.
Watch Episode 1 at http://www.rte.ie/storyland/finalists/rentalboys.html and if that tickles your fancy, please remember episode 2 is coming soon! :).
We have much more up including vids and pics up on:
