A dark comedy about the unintended consequences of chasing after the next big thing…

Director: Sean Q. Brown
Writer: Max Rabinovitch & Sean Q. Brown

The notion of a normal, law-abiding person being put into a situation where they’re using white collar skills to rise through a criminal world isn’t something new. We love series like Breaking Bad and Ozark; they’re prime examples. But, given how absurd most of these scenarios really are, we wanted to peel away the drama and pretense, and highlight the comedy that’s hiding at the core of these stories. The best way to do that in our opinion, was to choose the dumbest premise possible, and then see if we could create a ‘serious’ story around it. The idea of exploring these Frankenstein-esque motifs of morality in science and medicine, aspects of sexism inherent in current sexual norms, what this all says about America today – addressing this all by having some poor scientist accidentally make a big dick pill and have it stolen seemed hilarious to us.
