The TV Set

A place where dreams are cancelled.

A sharp, satirical comedy about artistic compromise in television that uses dark irony to explore the collision between creative integrity and commercial success.

As a writer named Mike struggles to shepherd his semi-autobiographical sitcom into development, his vision is slowly eroded by a domineering network executive named Lenny who favors trashy reality programming. The irony, of course, is that every crass suggestion Lenny makes improves the show's response from test audiences and brings the show a step closer to getting on the air.
