    paper Home Office S1 Ep 6

    In the early pandemic months, my wife and I created this mockumentary web series HOME OFFICE, about a husband and wife forced to work from home together in a small and cold apartment.

    This, the sixth episode, proved one of our most popular: Bottle Episode.
    The series was written up in the Boston Globe and Boston Arts Fuse.

    My wife and I co-created, co-scripted, and co-starred. Everything else (lighting, sound, storyboard, editing, even the theme song) made by me.
