First Time Producer, Michael Gross, Propels Comedy Series Into Emmy® Contention
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 07, 2016 -- Michael Gross, known for his roles as Steven Keaton on "Family Ties" and the fan favorite Burt Gummer in the "Tremors" franchise, steps into the producer role of the award-winning web series*, "Carbon Dating." Gross brings his comedic vision to savvy audiences hungry for relevant Internet content.
For the first time, the Television Academy will honor Short Form Series - Comedy or Drama at the 68th Annual Prime Time Emmy® Awards this fall. Gross delivers a smart, insightful comedy that will resonate with 76 million Baby Boomers and their Gen X and Millennial children.
"Carbon Dating" follows the whimsical misadventures of two Baby Boomers awkwardly aging in a youth-oriented society. With the clever use of flashbacks and fantasy sequences, these best friends tackle a myriad of age-related annoyances and inconvenient realities including online dating, failing eyesight and senior moments.
Michael Gross helms the series in its bid for an Emmy® in two categories: Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama Series and Outstanding Actress, Marcie Barkin ("All In The Family," "Welcome Back, Kotter," "The Facts of Life").
