It's Glitter vs. Bitter in a New Teen Series Just for Girls
MEDIA ADVISORY, June 14 /
Christian Newswire/ -- Cloud Ten Pictures proves opposites don't always attract in a brand new TV series for teens - June 15, 2010.
Who said opposites attract? That's the first thing on Nikki's mind when she's forced to spend the summer with her flaky, energetic cousin Babs - Nikki and Babs go together like oil and water, pink and red, stripes and plaid... that is to say, they don't!
So when sarcastic, tomboy Nikki and bubbly Babs find themselves battling it out for the same position at a local radio station, or competing in a beauty pageant together, you can be guaranteed that hilarity ensues. Nikki & Babs: Dos and Doubts is a truly refreshing, faith-friendly teen comedy series that is anything but predictable.
Portraying the delightful experience of growing up while embracing all the drama and excitement that goes with it, Nikki & Babs is the perfect resource for young girls who crave original entertainment they can relate to and learn from.
"Boyfriends, first jobs, jealousy, and celebrity obsessions... Nikki and Babs have to confront it all in their own unique ways," declares Cloud Ten Pictures' Executive Producer/Director, André van Heerden.
Over the course of the summer, the mismatched duo discovers that the age-old cliché just might ring true, as the polar opposite teens overcome their differences to find that friendship can be found in even the most unlikely situations. Throughout the series, the comical clashes of these two unlikely best friends impart important life lessons and spiritual growth along the way, all the while maintaining the show's lighthearted, "Christian Cotton Candy" manner.
Originally created by Sonlight Pictures, the NIKKI & BABS DVD includes five episodes, plus special features, as well as a bonus short film, CLUB GOD. The show's creator Pete Bauer envisioned an original teen drama that would incorporate humor without relying on themes or situations that are inappropriate for young teens.
"We set out to create a show that would speak to teens, and the moral challenges they must deal with during this important phase of their lives, but would not contradict the faith and values of our Christian audience," explains Bauer.
Cloud Ten Pictures is proud to present NIKKI & BABS as their first foray into the cutting-edge web series format, following the Christian production/distribution house's push into new genres, such as drama (THE RIVER WITHIN, TREASURE BLIND) and suspense (DANGEROUS CALLING, upcoming END OF THE BEGINNING).
The first season of NIKKI & BABS (originally produced as Purgatory USA) was lauded by the Dove Foundation and was given its "Appropriate for All Ages" seal of approval. NIKKI & BABS releases on DVD nationwide June 15, 2010 and is available for church exhibition through Cloud Ten's Church Cinema. NIKKI & BABS will be distributed domestically on DVD to the secular and Christian markets through E1 Entertainment, and to all other markets directly by Cloud Ten Pictures.
