“The Deli People”: a slice of cold cult comedy coming soon
From May through August of 2021, recent Middlebury graduates Cole Merrell ’21 and Jacob Morton ’21 spent their days driving around Vermont, writing, filming, directing and editing a web series titled “The Deli People.” Through the passionate efforts of about 15 Middlebury students and faculty, as well as one yet-to-be-revealed local celebrity, “The Deli People” is set to release on YouTube on November 14 as an eight-episode event, totaling 90 minutes of comedy and drama about a fictional cult — a “cult comedy,” as the creators, jokingly, put it.
