Crewing Up
A weekly webseries. See what the critics are saying!
Sentenced to 500 hours of
community service, network TV producer Addie Kemp finds herself forced
to crew up in the low key offbeat world of public access. If the mood
strikes, the show goes on. But no shows, forgotten shows and stupid
shows may be enough to break her spirit long before the 500 hours are
in the can.
