Although this series had humble beginnings as a university project it has since become much more. After successfully raising £2000 from a self-initiated Kickstarter campaign we shot the second season over twelve days and are currently in the process of releasing new episodes. As the writer, I wrote all eight new episodes, as well as a rough script for the Kickstarter video. As producer I was tasked with scheduling, writing call sheets, sourcing props, casting, managing huge sums of money, paying actors, locating runners, writing risk assessments and organising kit. The first season was nominated for a ‘Best Web Series’ award at Slumberjack Film Festival. I also designed and maintain the website and social media pages.

Stratford, London

As an intern on the 2016 edition of this series it was my job to research upcoming guests such as Jo Brand, Sarah Outen and Max Whitlock. The scriptwriters took my research and turned it into scripts. I then stood in for guests as Clare went through her questions and changed them as she saw fit. It was also my job to locate and source props, for as little money as possible, such as snooker tables, snooker cues, treadmills and a van in which to transport them to the studio in Stratford.
