FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - Part 1: The Show
Q: What is Scenes From Oblivion?
A: Scenes From Oblivion is Mike Cuenca’s first feature film. It features some of the characters from Oblivion in small cameo and supporting roles. Oblivion: The Series (hence, the "series" aspect of the title) is a spin-off of Scenes From Oblivion.

Q: Is it essential to watch Scenes From Oblivion to understand the show?
A: Not at all. They’re both stand-alone although watching one or the other enhances the overall viewing experience. You’ll catch a few "inside-jokes" and tiny references to the Holwenstall-verse.

Q: Where can I watch Scenes From Oblivion?
A: Scenes From Oblivion hasn’t been released and Mike is deciding what to do with it until he sees what sort of feedback he receives on the show. There may be an upcoming theatrical screening of the feature and a few episodes followed by a cast/crew Q&A early January in Los Angeles.

Q: So where can I watch this show?
A: You can watch it in great HD quality on the main page of our web site as well as in lower quality on Vimeo, YouTube and Blip.TV. Just follow the links. We are working on a torrent of the show for downloading, as well as working with Boxee.Tv to bring Oblivion to the 500k+ televisions with Boxee installed.
 
Q: What are the show’s influences?
A: Dazed and Confused, American Graffiti, Mallrats, John Hughes movies, the films of Jim Jarmusch and Wes Anderson; Chynna-Clugston’s Blue Monday comic book series; Daniel Clowes. Alcohol. Cocaine. Slayer.

Q: Where is the show filmed?
A: Your mother's bedroom.

Q: There are waaaay too many characters! What the f**k?
A: That’s the point of the show. It’s a large ensemble piece with interweaving storylines. Think of an Altman film like Short Cuts. Think of Dazed and Confused but as a TV show except with the characters receiving more of a back-story. The first few episodes are a big teaser for things to come. As the series progresses there will be more single character-centered episodes to shed some light on our incredibly large cast.

Q: This is boring. There’s too much dialogue. Can you cut down the dialogue and make it funnier and show more fight scenes?
A: Although there are more than a handful of fight scenes on the show, the show is very character driven and the humor reflects whichever character is being portrayed at the time.
