The Show About the Show

2015 · 4 seasons

A wry, self-devouring meta-comedy where creative chaos spirals outward, leaving you amused and slightly uneasy at how much can unravel.

Genres
Comedy, Drama
Overview
Independent Filmmaker Caveh Zahedi is trying to make a television show. He persuades BRIC TV, a Brooklyn non-profit Arts organization, to finance a television show whose premise is that every episode will be about the making of the previous episode. In the process of creating the show, everything can-and does-go wrong. The cast, a who's who of Brooklyn's independent filmmaking community, includes Alex Karpovsky, Eleonore Hendricks, Dustin Defa, and Onur Tukel.
