In this episode of Below the Line, filmed during the Dances With Films Press Junket, host Hannah sits down with Luke Steinborn and Chris Leary, the creative minds behind the mockumentary comedy Formally Known As. The duo shares the origin of their offbeat pilot, centered on a washed-up rockstar played by a purple Muppet making his comeback and how the absurdity never breaks the world they’ve built. From COVID-era puppet shows to Bojack Horseman and Spinal Tap influences, they dive into the mockumentary format, improv-heavy performances, and how they got serious actors to treat a puppet like a rock legend. With honest insight, humor, and infectious passion, this interview captures why this show is one to watch.
