Announcing our new comedy pilot: The Project (watch the episode on YouTube now!)
Progress has costs. Sometimes, those costs are jobs. Sometimes, they are people. Sometimes, it can be whole villages also. What to do? The bulldozer of development cannot be stopped, certainly not by trying to lie in front of it.
So what are the people of Chanala to do when they are told their village is being demolished to make way for a new factory? They’re out of time and out of ideas
Then, a lightning bolt – an ingenious plan from the most unexpected source: a (former) consultant, the disgraced Ashish.
The scheme: start a fake consulting firm, get hired by the company building the factory, and sabotage the project from the inside.
We produced this pilot completely independently from start to finish. We wrote it, cast it, directed it, produced it, and edited it ourselves. We spent several days shooting in and around Mumbai, and way too long making it work in the edit bay. After what feels like an age, we’re finally ready to show it to a doubtless grateful nation.
The pilot is now live on YouTube, completely free to watch! If you like it, please share it and subscribe to Honesty is Best for more.
