Job: Penryn. {PAID} Seeking: Female Actor for Role of Daphne Boon in Sitcom Pilot 'Cottingley & Co'
About the Project /Job:
Production Title: ‘Cottingley & Co’
Synopsis:
Cottingley & Co. is the first half of a silly, fun, and fantastical pilot sitcom. The show bridges the gap between the mundane lives of office workers and the whimsical world of pesky, insect-like fairies. Influenced by sitcoms such as What We Do in the Shadows, The IT Crowd, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks and Recreation, and Garth Merenghi's Dark Place, the tone is light-hearted and absurd.
In this episode, Eddie’s typically quiet world is upended when she applies for a job at Cottingley & Co., a fairy removal service. Boon, the self-proclaimed office boss, puts her skills to the test while Zarah, the sassy receptionist, helps Wesley, the nerdy analyst, prepare for a romantic date.
