About
Symitri Productions started off as a passion project between childhood friends. It was sort of a dumping ground for all the weird side music and film projects we had going on. Then life happens and we got busy and time passes.
Growing up in the early 90s was a strange time for television. Police Academy, Robocop, even The Toxic Avenger somehow turned into Saturday morning cartoons. But both of us had this memory of something that felt like the opposite — a live-action kids' show that felt like it was made for adults. Something you'd catch at 3am on USA Up All Nite, flipping channels between the guy who lit his car on fire and the sex talk hotline. For years we assumed we'd imagined it. We looked. We found nothing.
Then a friend introduced us to Wally at a party. His name is Marc Kroll — a lighting director who'd worked with Wally on Crackodile 2 and whose other credits you've probably seen without knowing it. The conversation went longer than it should have. Wally explained why we couldn't find anything. Most of it burned in a studio fire in 1993. What survived was in boxes — pay stubs, internal memos, fragments.
We've been working with him and Marc ever since. We're slowly working our way through what we've found.
