DIRECTV Orders 'Full Circle' from Neil LaBute

DIRECTV

announced today that it has ordered ten episodes of the original drama, “Full Circle”, from award-winning screenwriter Neil LaBute (The Shape of Things, In the Company of Men), in his television series debut. The series examines the human condition and relationships through a series of conversations between 11 people whose lives, unbeknownst to them, are intertwined. “Full Circle” will be executive produced by BAFTA-award winning Executive Producer/Director Nick Hamm (Rogue) for Momentum TV, the scripted division of Momentum Entertainment Group, helmed by Chris Weil. Series creator Neil LaBute will serve as writer and co-executive producer. FremantleMedia International will handle global distribution of the series. Production on the series, which will take place at DIRECTV's Los Angeles Broadcasting Center, will begin in early summer 2013 and it will air on DIRECTV's Audience in fall 2013. “Full Circle” is a modern day La Ronde meets My Dinner with Andre as it explores the nature of human contact and true togetherness in our current technology-driven world. It marks a new foray into alternative television production, harkening back to the prolific days of independent filmmaking. “We are thrilled that our quest to provide our customers with exclusive, original and daring programming led Audience to 'Full Circle' and Neil LaBute,” said Chris Long, senior vice president Entertainment and Production, DIRECTV. “In dissecting how closely connected we all are, 'Full Circle' will take viewers on a journey that will traverse the full range of human emotion. I know the series will flourish under the stewardship of Neil and Nick Hamm.”
