Two financially struggling brothers-slash-roommates stumble into a dangerous police conspiracy to gentrify their Brooklyn neighborhood, Flatbush.
A fever dream mashup of modern single camera comedy and 70s crime neo-noir.
Co-created by real life brothers Chris Barnett (actor, influencer, content creator) and Michael Barnett, this indie pilot screened at festivals nationwide in 2020 and will eventually be released publicly as a short web series on Chris’s own platform.
This pilot was produced in collaboration with Visibly Shaken Productions, and 3-time Emmy winner Vincent De Paul.
