The last time we checked in on Zaji Zabalerio, he was winning a prize at the MorristownGreen.com Film Festival for directing The Last Ride of Sustainable Man.

Not one to rest on his laurels, the Morristown High School junior is back with an exciting new project: Elliot Baxter.

It’s a series of webisodes; viewers guide story outcomes by voting on Facebook. Zaji explains:

 

 

Elliot Baxter is played by Rob Carroll, a junior in MHS, and his character is this really quirky, smart, but socially awkward student. The mini-series was meant to be in a fixed storyline but since it’ll be exclusively on YouTube, the audience, being a part of the experience, has the right to decide on what they’re seeing (thus the Facebook page). Each episode will be a fixed storyline until the end, where the audience can decide on what happens next, which will tie in perfectly with the next, regardless of what they choose.
