In Strange Woods
Script, Music & Lyrics by Matt Sav, Jeff Luppino-Esposito, and Brett Ryback
"In Strange Woods" is a scripted, musical podcast inspired by the style of investigative series like "S-Town" or "Dirty John" -- it follows the turbulent coming-of-age story of 18-year-old Peregrine Wells through the fallout of a gripping missing-persons case in the north woods of Minnesota.
The series is being shopped with Atypical Artists, and a 30-minute pilot demo was recorded that features the voices of Donna Lynne Champlin ("Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"), Patrick Page ("Hadestown," Tony nominated), Jonah Platt ("Wicked"), Larry Bates ("Big Little Lies") and Lily Mae Harrington ("The Glee Project").

Matt Sav and Jeff Luppino-Esposito have been writing musicals and pulling all-nighters together since 2008 when they created the first-ever interactive online musical. Since then they've sworn never to attempt another interactive online musical, and have instead created shows and narrative music for major producers and brands including Nickelodeon, Amazon, YouTube Originals, Disney Digital, and more.
Their musicals strive to reach a new wave of audiences by crossing platforms and genres. They've tackled everything from a dramatic musical podcast with folk stylings, to an animated kids' series driven by EDM beats, and a musical movie inspired by the sounds of the late '90s.
They believe whole-heartedly in the power of music to tell emotional, funny, and meaningful stories on stage, screen, and beyond.
