The project was directed by Patrick Cavanaugh (Mad Men).
ShowFriends brings together a wealth of experience in both film and television on-screen and off. All working actors, this team was looking to create their own projects and poke fun at their industry. Now a year later, ShowFriends has been gaining fans and attention with their comedy videos, most recently for the parody of the popular political drama, The West Wing: Trump Years (http://tinyurl.com/westwingtrump). They took-on the hot button issue of diversity with their first release Showcase: One Network's Search For White Diversity (http://tinyurl.com/ShowcaseWhiteDiversity); followed by a satirical examination of getting hired in 'the biz' with the short-run sketch series WHAT IF...People Interviewed For Jobs Like Actors?
