December also marked the official premiere of Albionic, a high-concept, highly stylized story about a man whose legs are replaced with those of an albino person—and the fact that everyone around him thinks that's totally normal. Both Audrey Claire and Brett cite the piece as their favorite Brainfox creation thus far. "It's unique in tone compared to the rest of our videos," says Brett, while Audrey Claire loves the "campy, soap opera-style" humor. The Brainfox leaders are equally excited about branch- ing out into new areas, as they plan to do with two upcoming projects. One is their mockumentary-style take on a woman (to be played by Rogati) who lives and breathes rainstick play- ing. "She's been rejected from every music festival in Con- necticut because they don't take her seriously," says Audrey Claire, "so she decides to throw her own concert at a local dive bar." The other will mark their first foray into a multi-episode series: a comedic look at political intrigue and small-town gos- sip in the fictional New England town of Whatsboro.

"The North Shore is a really good place to be an artist—not speaking just to comedy—because it's a commu- nity that's really aware and supportive of the arts." And just as Brainfox has no plans to change locale, they also have no plans to slow down. "Who knows what we'll have done a year from now?" says Brett. "There's still so much we want to try. So much room for discovery." ● n Snicker Poodle Audrey Claire Johnson smooches her pooch—and co-star. 56 nshoremag.com January/February 2012 nshoremag.com January/February 2012 Featuring: Lilla P
