Storyline

Jason Harris is a writer with a problem -- his Oscar. Jason won it ten years ago for "Best Dramatic Short," but the fast-talking statuette now goads him about his stalled writing career and wishes he could have gone home with Marisa Tomei instead. To make matters worse, Jason has a broken heart, his Ex enjoys making him suffer, he just got fired from his day job, and he can't make rent. A quirky L.A.- based comedy mixing live action and animation.
