This episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast I'm chatting with Peter G. Adams, composer on Qubi series 'Survive' starring 'Game Of Thrones' Sophie Turner, and 'The Walking Dead's Corey Hawkins.For those of you who have not yet come across Quibi, it is a mobile-centric streaming service founded by Dreamwork's Jeffrey Katzenberg, and is devoted to short-form programming, so that means all the episodes are around 10 mins long. Although it is short form, they have a stunning array of talent producing and starring in their shows, from a version of 'The Fugitive' starring Kiefer Sutherland and Boyd Holbrook, to a horror series from Steven Spielberg, to a racing competition series with Idris Elba!'Survive' is based on the acclaimed novel by Alex Morel, and follows the character Jane (Sophie Turner - 'Game Of Thrones'), who was involved in a deadly plane crash in the middle of nowhere. Jane and the only other survivor, Paul (Corey Hawkins - 'Walking Dead', '24: Legacy'), embark on a journey through the wild

Meanwhile, I have been watching the new Greg Daniels comedy 'Upload' on Amazon Prime starring Robbie Amell, along with the new Ryan Murphy series 'Hollywood' on Netflix, so we review both of those.In the latest news, we run through the latest renewals and cancellations, along with discussing the latest developments in COVID-19 affected tv.

However, he also has a background in computer programming, and this led to him, along with Sara, who has a background in design, building the app ReelCrafter.Frustrated with the lack of a decent platform for composers and musicians to present their demo reels, Sam and Sara decided to develop their own.
