I watched a documentary on Rod Serling a while back. This guy was a badass. It seems early on in his TV career he wanted to write moving political plays about what was going on in the times. Racism, the red scare- but the networks freaked at some of his ideas. In frustration he turned to making “The Twilight Zone”- which is full of social commentary- disguised as entertainment. Reminds me a bit of Jean Paul Sartre and the existentialistsduring the Nazi occupation of France.
I’ve got a few pictures of Rod Serling covering the wall- I thought it’d be nice to have an actual art piece done as well.
