More Than Meets The Eye: Behind the Scenes of 'Meta'
Photos and Writing by Marisa Correa
Get a glimpse of what it takes to create Cable 8’s hit show ‘Meta’. I had the opportunity to be a fly on the wall for ‘Meta’s’ film-shoot for their final episode. From difficulties with equipment to having to lay on the ground for the better part of an hour to get the right shot, the cast and crew of Meta did not shy away from daunting tasks in order to create a final episode they could all be proud of. With acting and performing there’s a saying that goes “the goofier you feel, the better you look” and Meta really took that saying to new levels.
