The simple question “Why are we friends?” provided the inspiration for the bizarre web series “Homebody” about two roommates – one human and one sock puppet. After starting his career in photography, director Jonathan Frey has been filming for nearly six years, but in January he decided it was time to use his skills and creativity for a personal project. The six episode series focuses on the two roommates “battling it out to why they are even friends,” Frey explains. The characters don’t really acknowledge that one is a puppet. Frey plays the human roommate, and asked one of his friends to play the puppet, but he still needed someone to play the puppet’s human girlfriend, Samantha. Typically, Frey works with producers or the agency or a casting director for casting his projects, but in order to stay low-budget, he decided to cast the role of Samantha himself using Backstage.
