About the Project

Sean and his friends work at an expensive clothing store in New York City, where rich people and celebrities shop, and yet they barely make ends meet. They pursue their dreams of being writers, actors, comedians, and filmmakers, all while doing as little work as possible and avoiding getting fired. Managing that work life balance is tough, as they constantly have their relationship problems spill into work, have to avoid work to go on auditions and follow their dreams in other ways, and meanwhile take the company for everything they’re worth, whether it’s stealing supplies, abusing their discount, helping customers get deals, and sticking it to the managers and corporations any way they can. Sean is a dreamer though, who does not believe in capitalism and ranks, and work, but must come to terms that even in his dreams there will be hierarchies he must accept.
