New York City
Synopsis:

In this mockumentary-style workplace comedy, Preston, a naively optimistic teen filmmaker, struggles to lead the members of his chaotic, misfit high school broadcasting program through technical disasters, school rivalries, and the uphill battle of proving that a group of amateur students can create something great, even while balancing catastrophic production mishaps and the drama that comes with adolescence.
