THE PREMISE
A dying trade.
A missing father.
One impossible inheritance.
A 23-year-old Australian arrives in London expecting answers about her missing father and instead inherits his bankrupt creature-effects workshop.
The business is held together by unpaid invoices, collapsing equipment and a fiercely loyal group of artists whose practical skills are becoming unfashionable as the film industry changes around them.
To keep the doors open, its reluctant new owner must become part producer, part detective and part referee, all while deciding whether the workshop is a burden she should escape or the first place that has ever felt like hers.
CHARACTER, ENGINE & TONE
Every job could save them.
Every job could finish them.
THE NEXT JOB
Each episode brings a new production crisis, impossible effects brief and financial disaster while the team fights to keep the workshop alive.
WARM, WRY, ANARCHIC
The Full Monty meets Spaced, set inside the fading practical-effects trade at the end of the millennium.
