Building a
short-form series.

Wrote and executive produced the series, shaping eight compact episodes around Eric's attempt to launch a record label while juggling artists, personalities and the everyday absurdity of the music business.

Featuring guest appearances by Bobby Brown as Eric’s confidante and Chelsea Peretti as God.

Structured each episode around a strong comic premise, character-based escalation, and enough continuity to make the series feel like a world rather than a string of sketches.

Constructed the action figure by hand as a small piece of prop work alongside writing and producing the spot.
