A Okay
Independent Pilot Competition
Pilot, 22 min
Created by: Russell Ford, Clay Keller and Andrew Merrill
Plays In: Comedy 8
Interests: Comedy

"A Okay" is a darkly funny and occasionally sweet look at the selfish nature of friendship: its gives and takes, fights and forgiveness. The pilot features beleaguered children’s television host Mike as he scrambles to save his ratings-challenged show, Veggie Ventures. His roommates Sam and MG, meanwhile, encounter ragers, suicide, and possible new love, all to find a dining room table. Life is weird, surprising, and usually a little screwed up, but in the end it’s all going to be A Okay. Read More

"Agent X" is a situation comedy set in an obscure branch for the British Secret Service. In fact, it is so obscure that it has been completely forgotten about. With no real missions and no real enemies, veteran agent Edwin and new recruit James find that they have far too much time on their hands and far too many ludicrous fake-missions. When you’re dodging your boss and work instead of dodging bullets, the mundane can become pretty interesting. Read More
