Maury Show Parody (TRAILER)

October 2018

The parody project was assigned to us with the intention of creating a short parody of well known movie/show, while including social commentary while affecting some type of social change. The Maury Show parody was to portray Maury Povich as a tv host forced to comply with his boss's demand in changing his show's format into producing "trash tv" in attempts to get higher ratings. Maury genuinely wants to help people, but helping those in need does not get as high of a number of ratings as drama does. The message is that society is interested in watching reality drama and gossip, and tv shows will go as far as fabricating stories to comply with the demand.
