They're Young. They're Talented. They're Broke...The struggle to make a living doing what you love.
The TEAM Makes a Play captures a rare verite look at the TEAM's three-year collaborative journey creating their 2011 Edinburgh Festival Fringe hit, Mission Drift, an epic saga exploring American Capitalism. Granted unlimited access to this critically acclaimed indie theatre company of NYU grads, multiple Emmy Award-winning director Paulette Douglas follows the TEAM from initial concept to world premiere---from New York to Vegas to Europe. Ironically played out in the midst of the nation's financial crisis, these passionate young artists are caught in the drama of making a play about American Capitalism while fighting to keep their company afloat. This is a film about what it really takes to make a play, about the serendipity of happy accidents, about commitment and loyalty and heart and love and money and art and the all too common conflicts endured trying to make a living doing what you love.
