Drop Call #3Ash and I got together to interview Alexander Pavlis the writer and creator of the indie series 'The Cages'. We talk about the work that went into making S1 and the kickstarter for S2!_________THE CAGES is a passion project created from the love of superpowered action and queer drama. Written and created by Alexander Pavlis, featuring art by CJ Camba, Olivia Ratkins, Seye Sanyaolu, Karen Charm, Addriano Divino and Leonardo Cino; and lettered by Danny Djeljosevic!The StoryFor the people of State 16, life is spent inside a walled city, governed by a mysterious AI company that tells them it's for their own good. There's no way out, except for [THE CAGES] --a massive, televised event in which robots and enhanced humans clash for the opportunity at recruitment into State 16's military force and a chance to see beyond the walls. One team of recruits, determined to go the distance, might discover along the way that the price for victory might be higher than they can pay._________You can help fund Season 2 by supporting the team on Kickstarter!https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thecages/the-cages-season-2-battle-roundFind Alexander and more about the project @al_pavlis on socials__________Keep up to date with Dr. Khaliden Nas by checking out www.alsopurple.com and following @AlsoPurp on all socials.Hosted, produced & edited by Dr. Khaliden Nas.Music by PamperedFists & Anzahlung.Video production by Victor Alexander (Check out his film video essays @Clevvergirl on tiktok!)Podcast Artwork by Valentine M.
