“Betas,” Amazon's new direct-to-streaming show about four (male, mostly white) app developers hoping to retire by puberty, is reportedly filming outside of Bi-Rite Creamery and famed shuttlebus stop, Dolores Park, this morning. They're even sexing up the park with trash-cans!
The show stars Ed Begley, Jr. has an aging tech mogul investor and Moby as Moby, so expect to see them around town as you dodge the cast of The Real World.
UPDATE: They also might be filming at Doc's Clock:
UPDATE II: Because the Mission is one giant Holywood lot, Mission Local is reporting that HBO's “Looking,” a gay drama about two video game programmers, is being filmed at Doc's Clock. Mission Mission has the info on how you can be a cool, hipster-y background extra in that show.

Seriously, you can’t tell the difference between a white guy and a guy of Indian descent? And you didn’t watch enough of the first episode to find out that one character is almost 30? You are a horrible “journalist” or even “bloggeur”
You got me. I thought it was a show about 8-year-olds making a dating app.
Probably you should quit your day job, if this is it.
I think what Kevin meant was that the idea for the show came from the mind of an 8 year old
You changed your fucking “article” or “bloggeur post” and you didn’t even credit me with the change… what a worthless moron. Nice integrity.
Seriously, kid, this website is not marked explicitly but is for adults only. At least 15
Doc’s Clock? Remember when they would refuse service to Foreign Cinema patrons during DotCom 1.0?
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
Technically the “them” they’re joining is Hollywood though.
Damn, these film crews will be tripping over each other.
Somebody was filming over at Radish yesterday, too.
Wait, so Uptown Almanac says the DocPop tweet is about Amazon’s “Betas” and Mission Mission says the same tweet is about HBO’s gay dramady.
I’m assuming it’s connected to Betas, purely based on the Dolores Park filming.
youre a fucking idiot
Goddamn I loves me some Doc’s Clock.
Damn, it’s just crazy because SF is one of the most expensive cities in the country to film in (permitted, of course). They just really want our shit, I guess…
not white males!! eeek!
The whole thing sounds like a nightmare scenario for the neighborhood.
