TYPECAST SERIES

Director
TV

An original comedy series about three roommates navigating the film world and the real world… as modern minorities.

Amir, Elizabeth, and Za-Nya are minorities. Being an Arab, an Asian, and an African-American, respectively, has its challenges in the acting profession. The tropes of “smart Asian” and “angry black woman” have long been played out on screen. What’s even funnier is that these stereotypes seep into their daily lives off-screen as well. With a dose of sarcasm and a unique perspective, they take it one day at a time, reversing what it means to be typecast.
