HEY THERE, REFINER!! 
Glad to see you've come back for more Severed: “Origins”! Since the WGA continues to strike for the rights of our beleaguered writers, I decided we needed something to keep us busy between now and S2. Enter the "Origins" series from "Severed"!! It's a deep-dive look at those things that INSPIRED the creation of "Severance"! The logic goes like this: if you like the end result, you'll probably like what went into it, right??

This time out, we're going DEEP into the 1985 Terry Gilliam movie, "Brazil." It's a personal fave of mine, and one of the influences cited by Dan Erickson regarding the creation of "Severance." Strap in, Refiners!! This is a MAJOR file! We're covering some bio info on Director Terry Gilliam and we're going to get about half an hour into the movie this time around. Be ready for more parts in this series!!

For now...it's time to get on the elevator. We've got a file to work on!!

Huge thanks to Adam Scott, star of 'Severance' and host of the Severance Podcast for recording a custom intro for "Severed." Make sure to check out 'The Severance Podcast w/Ben Stiller & Adam Scott" wherever you found this one!
