UnderCover Comic
6 Episodes
Stuck in a dead end job writing ads and doing comedy at open mics, Adam, a Brooklyn father of two, is torn when both he and his wife Zoey get their dream job in Los Angeles and Italy... at the exact same time.
Vision for the Show:
Season one currently consists of six 21 minute episodes. A fully realized season one might need an ADR overhaul, or could be reshot with some upgraded conditions, locations and actors. Season two would track Adam’s disillusionment to what it means to be a temporarily single parent, as well as tracking Zoey’s own dream-chasing, which takes her to Italy as a showrunner for David Friedman’s culinary masterclass. Three-season bible is available upon request.
Credits:
Show-runner Bobby Friedman has directed music videos commissioned by Atlantic Records. His writing has been published through Sports Illustrated, and has received accolades in dozens of film festivals internationally, including Oscar-qualifying Rhode Island Flickers Film Festival, the Finish Line Script competition, as well as Oaxaca Film Festival, which has been named by MovieMaker as one of the top 25 festivals in the world. Comic credits include NBC, SNL, The Daily Show & Comedy Central. It’s soundtracked by bonafide top-liners such as 14x Grammy nominee Tayla Parx, Robert John Ardiff (of NY Times’ “Modern Love” series), and music festival mainstay, Gibbz.
