Cellar Dwellers is a 7-episode semi-autobiographical web series created by a few of my friends. They enlisted my help to craft a narrative, but I ended up staying to write--and even direct--most episodes!
Brothers Noah and Ephraim must learn to live and love after their parents abandon them for China. When Noah meets alluring businesswoman Becky and she encourages him to visit China, Ephraim must face a world without his dim-witted, yet well-meaning brother.
