"Disconnected" The Web Series Reminds Audiences To Connect

The web series "Disconnected" takes a look at the importance of putting one's phone down to remain connected, while stressing the importance of real relationships and taking time to talk. Voting to determine if the web series “Disconnected” and all other submissions which made the Emmy pre-nomination round commenced on June 10, 2019 and concluded on June 24, 2019. Nominations in all categories for the 71st PrimeTime Emmys will be announced Tuesday, July 16. In a recent interview with actor Tom Jenkins, he spoke fondly in terms of who he refers to as his “film
family” to include the entire cast and crew of the web series, “Disconnected.” Tom Jenkins has been in commercials to include Allstate, Toyota and Hallmark, just to name a few. Earlier this year, in his role as both an actor and producer, Jenkins teamed up with Jordan Brady of Superlounge, Latina Director Jeanette Godoy who is also the wife of Jordan Brady, lead actress Meredith Thomas, and literally the rest of the Brady filmmaking family to produce “Disconnected.” “Disconnected” was written and directed by Latina Filmmaker Jeanette Godoy, edited and produced by Jordan Brady (Jeanette Godoy’s husband), the sons and daughters of Godoy and Brady, as well as additional talented cast and crew. Gabi Feingold portrays the daughter in “Disconnected,” and Gigi Feingold is the costume designer.
Godoy and Brady’s sons are involved in the production of the web series “Disconnected” also. Ben Brady is the assistant to the Director of Photography and Jake Brady is a production assistant for the web series. In addition to what one may very well think of as a modern day, filmmaking “Brady Bunch,” the rest of the cast and crew quite literally forms “one big production family who enjoy every moment of working together,” according to Jenkins. Continuing, “I was first approached by Director Jeanette Godoy at a commercial directing workshop that she and her husband Jordan were offering through their production company Superlounge. I worked with Jordan Brady on national commercials three times prior to filming “Disconnected.” Needless to say, I said yes before Jeannette was even finished asking me if I wanted to be involved in this web series.” Concluding, “also, my dear friend and colleague Meredith Thomas auditioned for a role in “Disconnected”
portraying my wife, and was cast for the lead role. You couldn't ask for a better cast and crew.” Meredith Thomas is on the pre-nomination ballot for “Outstanding Actor or Actress for Short Form Comedy or Drama.”
Tom Jenkins attended the Second Annual FYC Independents event (previously known as FYC US Independents), a private charity event associated with the Elks Lodge in Van Nuys. FYC Independents was developed by Meredith Thomas in an effort to give Academy members who are not represented by studios or networks an opportunity to screen their short form submissions. Last year, out of approximately 50 projects showcased, four of the actors who were showcased received Emmy nominations, to include Kelly Jenrette, Melvin Jackson, Jr., Naomi Grossman, and Miles Tagtmeyer.
