Chess Boy

2010, 30 minutes

Sitcom Pilot

Mark, Adam and Simon have been friends for a long time. Too long. Their friendship, rather than blossoming over the years, has festered. Simon is a borderline sociopath, Adam an apathetic telemarketer with a streak of intense paranoia and Mark a low-rent solicitor who could probably be so much more if he wasn’t dragged down by his two friends. All three live in a strange world where depression and self-hatred meets surreal insanity, peopled with some very strange characters. Cynics often say, ‘Jesus is coming - look busy’. These guys look busy every moment of their lives.'
