Rasing Kayn

Seasoned actress, Taunya Gren, is heading up a new internet series debuting late this summer. Inspired by Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog and it's unique comedy, style, and popularity, Gren has completed the scripts for 15 episodes of a new urban fantasy (think Buffy the Vampire Slayer) show. Gren is joined by cinematographer, George Koblasa (Harry & the Hendersons, Columbo), choreographer James Woodson, director Colton Tran, and her two daughters, Seanna and Kayla for a team bursting with so much talent they are certain to be successful.
Though a big fan of urban fantasy, Taunya felt that this genre could use an infusion of family values. Rasing Kayn, the series' working title, will be not only an action-packed comedy, but also a family-friendly show with a message of the strength found in loved ones. Using monsters and mad scientists as a metaphor for the real struggles in our lives, the series' website will also host two charities where viewers can help fight disease and kidnapping.
Currently casting quirky characters such as Andy the Werebunny and Wilbur the Ninja. Filming will take place in multiple locations across the state in June and July and the show should release online by early September. This is an exciting new venture for so many people in this industry in Utah and I, for one, can't wait to watch it all unfold.
