I read the article but I don't understand what "The Disco Ball" is. It
doesn't sound like a TV show at all but more like some kind of project
where people get together to brainstorm story/character ideas.

And turned it into really low and amateur animation. The whole thing looks
like it was done by third graders.

I have no idea where the funding comes from. I kept waiting for it to ask
me for money, but it never did.

Thanks for finding that because it answers my question although I still
don't see why it is discussed as if its a TV program or movie. I watched
a few minutes, enough to get the gist of the concept.

I agree that the animation is pretty low-grade. I suppose they're
working with volunteers who may not have a lot of skills. They could
use a man of your skills to help them up their game :-)

Vanity project maybe? Stephanie Beatriz was a lead in a successful
sitcom for seven (?) seasons so she may have some spare cash lying
around wanting to get used....

Creating a show of some kind using volunteers that spitball
ideas and cobble things together is an interesting concept and may
ultimately go far but I'm not feeling it with this project.

Thanks, but I’d already be shooting up the place.

I think this is the kind of crap we’re going to get from the new union
writers rooms that require a whole bunch of extra writers that don’t
actually have anything to do. There have always been a whole bunch of
people that don’t understand the story at all, and spitball, stupid ideas,
and then get mad at you when you won’t do them. This is just sanctioning
it.
