My Generation was shown in front of nearly 600 people at the Paramount Theater in Austin last week. The Horn has covered the event and reviewed the pilot for My Generation. Below is a small excerpt from the review. To read it in full please vist the website.

My Generation is brought to life by its uncanny ability to be culturally relevant. Each of the main characters seems to be affected by a major life event that has happened within the past ten years – the controversial 2000 election, 9/11, the Enron scandal, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and the 2008 economic crisis. Each of these, as well as other major life events, seems to touch some character in a way that drastically impacts their lives.

Austinites will not be disappointed by the way this show depicts their town and its people; it portrays Austinites as expected – weird, loveable, funny and heartwarming. These characters don’t feel like actors, they maintain the illusion of the faux documentary, feeling more like your strange, slightly offbeat neighbors who have a lot of issues.
