Matthew; an overachieving college student, makes an unfair trade with
Lorenzo Burattino; a crime boss turned ventriloquist puppet, for help towards
writing a senior thesis paper in return; being Lorenzo's criminal ‘puppet’ sidekick.

This was a Pilot Episode Project for a "Television Production" Class
I am very grateful for my amazingly talented team of people who helped bring this idea to life!
Thank you so much to everyone involved!
