People Like Us - Pilot Episode

'Secret Santa" is the pilot episode of a proposed sit com featuring the lives, preoccupations and relationships of a group of disabled twenty-somethings in Ōtautahi Christchurch today. In this proof-of-concept episode, stickler for the rules Emily is thwarted when she discovers everyone's been cheating in the gang's Secret Santa game. She insists they start again, but everyone's distracted; Luka is trying to go viral, Emily's brother is trying to stop her from interfering in his love life, and Haiti is just trying to fix everything.

We want to raise enough money to hire a professional crew to make this episode something really special. There is a subversive and quirky undertone to this series, along with comedy and heaps of charm.
