If you spend any time on TikTok, there’s a good chance you’ve seen actress Alexis Schrepple absolutely owning the screen in those hilarious shorts for Apple Sport’s car dealerships. Every time she pops up, she brings sharp timing, clever humor, and just the right amount of charm. Honestly… she makes buying a car look fun — and that’s not something most people would dare to attempt.
So naturally, when the Time Rift Arcade team binge-watched a handful of her videos (fine… all of them), the same thought hit us:
“Wow, Alexis Schrepple would be unstoppable inside an arcade.”
And once we said it out loud, we couldn’t un-think it. Now it’s basically a mission.
Alexis, We Have a Proposal.
We want you! Yes, you. To star in a series of fun, fast-paced shorts at Time Rift Arcade.
You’ve already mastered the art of dealership comedy. You’ve conquered the skit format. Your timing? Impeccable. Your ability to take a simple scenario and turn it into a punchy, memorable moment? Unmatched.
So imagine what you could do on a set that includes:
- A Ghostbusters wall complete with proton packs
- A claw-machine zone that may or may not be sentient
- Retro classics, modern rhythm games, neon lights
- A fun bar, pizza, nachos, and more!
- R2D2, Storm Trooper, Alien props?
- A whole arcade full of potential props, cameos, and running gags
And one of our founders is David Murray, better known as The 8-Bit Guy on YouTube with more than 1.5 millions subs! Collab detected?
The Time Rift is basically a sketch-factory waiting to happen!
Why Time Rift?
Time Rift Arcade is what happens when a group of adults take their childhood nostalgia, add a dash of sci-fi energy, and then say: “Let’s do this!”
We’ve got kids and families by day, then after 8 PM it transforms into a lively, fun, grown-up arcade hangout with games, lights, music, and a crowd ready to laugh. We run events, themed nights, karaoke, and all kinds of chaotic good energy. The perfect place for short-form comedy.
We’ve always believed that an arcade is more than a collection of machines. It’s a stage. A playground. A place where personalities shine and silliness is encouraged. And in that world, Alexis Schrepple fits like a glove.
What We’re Dreaming Of
Short, punchy, funny videos — exactly in your style.
Maybe you pretend to “test drive” a racing cabinet like it’s a real car.
Maybe you go full investigative journalist on our claw machines.
Maybe you do a skit where you dramatically lose to a pinball machine and demand a rematch.
Maybe you show up ready to sell one of our arcade games the way you’d sell a car.
Or maybe you improvise something even more brilliant.
Honestly, you could film yourself reading the instruction card on a Galaga machine and we’d still watch it.
We don’t want to script you. We just want to give you a playground and let your creativity do the work.
And Yes, We’re in Texas Too
Since you’ve worked in Fort Worth and appear to be Texas based, it felt only right to send the invitation loud and clear. We’re just up the road in Bedford, and the door’s open anytime you feel like playing in a neon-soaked, time-warping arcade for a day.
Time Rift Arcade is a small, family-owned arcade. The kind of place built on passion, late nights, and a whole lot of love for our community. We’ve got a tight-knit team, a lot of heart, and a venue that feels like home to anyone who walks in. If you ever want to collaborate with people who genuinely care, who get excited about creativity, and who love supporting local Texas talent, that’s us.
We’re not asking for anything complicated. Just a chance to have some fun, and create some content that our audience would absolutely love.
Come Break the Time Rift (in a Good Way)
The truth is, we’ve admired your work because you bring joy, comedy, and personality into every short you make. And we think that’s exactly the kind of energy an arcade should celebrate.
Alexis Schrepple: if you’re up for it, Time Rift Arcade is too.
We’ll keep the machines warmed up.
We’ll keep the lights glowing.
And we’ll save the big claw machine for the finale.
Whenever you’re ready… the Time Rift awaits. Contact mike.murray@timeriftarcade.com!
