In a land where the evil Emperor K-os reigns, one girl embarks on a journey to restore order, schedules, and the integrity of math for the people of the land, The Crew. Meet Lindsay. Lindsay was just an average A+ student at Miami University of Ohio double-majoring in communication and interactive media studies, working 2 part time jobs, and playing softball. Until one day, she saw an ad for Miami’s film club… and everything changed. After dipping her toe in as Director of Programming for the region’s first international film festival, she dove in to every film/commercial/doc project available and gradually realized she wasn’t the same as the other kids. Her skills were unlike anything they’d ever seen. She could itemize budgets, locate large crews, color-coordinate spreadsheets, and manipulate a scheduling matrix with the swiftness of a ninja through the shadows. After graduating early, she tried to hide her abilities and disguised herself as a mindless PA at a local news station, but the calling was too strong and the world needed her. In 2010, she headed to LA in search of a challenge. Her pilgrimage took her from freelance PA to Coordinator to Manager, through the realms of Film, Livestreaming, Music Videos and Commercials until she arrived in a foggy, rule-defying land called Reality TV. In 2011, she discovered a time portal that took her to Imagecraft. There she found a properly equipped battle station where she continues to coordinate her plans. Will she ever defeat her lifelong nemesis, K-os? Will she find the enduring strength to do battle with his minions, The Producers? Will she become the hero we need? Now playing in a Burbank rental house near you.
