Production Starts On Long Valley Filmmaker’s New Series

LONG VALLEY, NJ — Filming has begun on a Long Valley filmmaker’s upcoming web series: “The Bully’s Club.”

The mini-series is being produced by Anthony Sciortino of DreamScape Pictures, a Long Valley-based production company. Residents may know Sciortino from his indie films like “Mailbox,” “Little Dream,” and the upcoming thriller “Light Beyond The Tracks,” based on Long Valley’s Hookerman legend.

“This new mini-series explores the complex reality of bullying, going beyond stereotypes to uncover the reasons behind why kids bully, and how pain often hides beneath the labels,” Sciortino said. “Through music, dance, and raw emotional storytelling, this series shows that transformation is possible—not only for those who are bullied, but for those who bully, too.”

Meet the cast below:

"Christina – The Brainer

Sharp, analytical, and always in control. Christina leads with intellect and logic, often masking emotion behind intelligence. She believes knowledge is power—and she refuses to be underestimated.

Vanessa – The Social Media Diva

Confident, curated, and constantly connected. Vanessa lives in the spotlight, measuring success in followers and perception. Behind the flawless image is a girl navigating pressure, validation, and the cost of always being seen.

Chloe – The Rebel

Defiant, fearless, and unapologetic. Chloe challenges rules, authority, and expectations. Her resistance is her armor—but it hides a past that shaped her refusal to conform.

Megan – The Perfectionist

Controlled, precise, and unapologetically obsessive. Megan demands order in a world that feels chaotic. A germaphobe with impossibly high standards, she struggles when control begins to slip.

Layla – The Loudest

Explosive, energetic, and addicted to chaos. Layla thrives in noise, confrontation, and disruption. She laughs loud, speaks louder, and uses chaos to avoid silence—and what comes with it.

Ivy – The Quick One

Fast, sharp, and quietly dangerous. Ivy doesn’t waste words or time. She observes, strikes when necessary, and leaves impact without warning. Underestimated by most, feared by few—but capable of more than anyone expects."

The premise is that these six girls above, each falling under a category built by themselves and others, find themselves in detention. The series revolves around courage, healing, and friendship through music and creativity.

“We believe The Bully’s Club will become one of the most inspiring and impactful children’s web series of 2026," Sciortino said. "Our mission is to teach kids everywhere that kindness is strength, and being a bully is never cool.”

The project is being directed by Anna Hill, with choreography by Shanna Heverly. Maddi Marina is also attached as Director of Photography.

“Because every bully has a story,” the series’ tagline reads.
