Drama School : A Mockumentary is a half-hour comedy series set inside a struggling New York acting conservatory where ambition runs high, funding runs low, and everyone believes they are one breakthrough away from greatness. The show follows a final-year class of wildly different young actors as they audition, compete, unravel, and cling to their dreams. Guided (and often derailed) by an eccentric faculty of once-promising teachers, the students must navigate ego, casting politics, and the terrifying question: what happens after graduation?

Shot in a documentary style, Drama School blends sharp satire with genuine heart, exploring the vulnerability, absurdity, and deep yearning that drives artists to pursue a life in the theatre — even when the odds (and the budget) are stacked against them. Funny, intimate, and painfully recognizable to anyone who has ever chased a dream a little too hard.

A week long shoot for a 30 minute pilot episode, this money will be used to rent equipment, feed our cast and crew, and hopefully pay some people for their work! Every little bit helps, and we thank you so so much for your contribution and collaboration.

We will be submitting the finished pilot and the script to festivals as well, so stay tuned!
