They say that necessity is the mother of invention. This certainly proves to be true for filmmakers Summer Moore (creator, writer, lead actress) and Starr Session (producer). When Covid caused the world to lock down, these creative gals got busy building a new web series that chronicles and finds humor in the often painful experience of virtual dating in a new age. This series is produced, written, directed, and edited by women! Shot completely on iPhones by each cast member while at home during the pandemic shutdown, the 9-episode PANDEMIC PILLOW TALK follows the daily dating routine of Mackenzie (Moore), a single woman hoping to find her true love. Unfortunately, she finds out that there are way more frogs than handsome princes in the world of cyber-dating. In each 5-7 minute episode, we eavesdrop on what proves to be a very chaotic, pathetic, desperate, and always hysterical experience for the hopeful romantic. Making matters more complicated for Mackenzie is her wacky, over-the-top and always inappropriate parents, Buck and Bertha played wonderfully by Eric Roberts, and his real-life wife, Eliza Roberts. The overbearing couple often shows up at the most inopportune times, injecting themselves in on the date while successfully embarrassing their daughter in front of a parade of would-be suitors.
