Terroir

Type: Television series
Length: 30-minutes
Genre: Comedy

Terroir is a hearty blend between a workplace comedy and an espionage thriller about a posh East Coast wine bar serving as a front for a shadowy Eastern European terrorist organization. The bar’s proprietor, Patrick, is a sophisticated sommelier with a loving boyfriend. Or is he Artem, a ruthless explosives expert exporting wine bottles full of PLX and casks full of C4? Can he maintain his relationship, wrangle his rambunctious staff, and serve his organization’s cause all at once? How long before he’s thrown into the great winepress of the State Department? 

Terroir explores themes of identity, secrecy, and the subjective nature of nationalism.

In Deep

Collage with woman on phone

Type: Television series
Length: 30-minutes
Genre: Period drama

In Deep is a one-hour family drama set in the 1970s about an ordinary Italian-American teenage girl, Kristin Biaggio, faced with an extraordinary choice: either embrace the anti-pornography cause of the feminists with whom she identifies and admires or support a beloved father outed as a mob-connected porn broker.
 
When her family life and traditional Catholic upbringing are turned upside-down, what will Kristin do?

Based on the memoir, The Pornographer’s Daughter, and inspired by true events surrounding the infamous pornographic film “Deep Throat,” In Deep probes issues of free speech, women’s rights, and morality against a backdrop of the explosive social movements of the 1970s.

At its heart, however, In Deep is an exploration of the bond between father and daughter.
