LOFT AND FOUND

A Mockumentary Comedy Series

LOGLINE: Five millennials with Peter Pan syndrome run an event venue out of their chaotic Brooklyn warehouse loft.

PREMISE: Faced with rising rent and a final chance to live their dreams, five artists in their mid 30s run an event venue out of their sketchy Brooklyn warehouse loft. Navigating wild lifestyles, aging roommate drama, and the creep of modern anxiety, can they get their shit together? ...or at least make this month's rent?

VIBE: Viewers vicariously live a bohemian lifestyle, without ever having to smell it. The actors play exaggerated versions of themselves, acting out narratives based on true stories. For example, in real life, Eli is behind on the bills, but just bought bagpipes!

ARTIST'S STATEMENT: I found my first place in NYC on Craigslist– a warehouse loft deep in Brooklyn with a stage in the living room, and neighbors who throw sex parties, drug ceremonies, and circus shows. After I moved out, I realized I had to make a show about this place, both to celebrate the fascinating and wildly talented people and stories, but it's also the perfect setting to ask deeper questions. How do you maintain an identity as an artist as you age? Do you have to give up to grow up? And how does that squirrel keep getting into the loft?? We draw directly from all the crazy shit that has happened there, while addressing millennial ennui amidst doomscrolling, societal expectations, and crippling self-doubt.

Y THO?: Navigating your way to adulthood is fraught with complexities, disappointments, bad hookups, and even worse hangovers. While you can't avoid growing up, if you navigate it with a community, it can be a little easier. And definitely more entertaining!

For Fans Of: What We Do In The Shadows, High Maintenance, Letterkenny, It's Always Sunny, Trailer Park Boys.

Market Demand: Mockumentaries remain massively popular (4th re-watch of The Office, anyone?), yet the only current mockumentary series are Abbott Elementary and What We Do In The Shadows (on its last season).
