The Pick-Up Sticks

The cameras turn off on your favorite children's TV show, and the young idols turn out to be a parent's worst nightmare. The Pick-Up Sticks follows Bethany, Mandy, Billy and Coobie. They're teen role models who teach daily lessons to kids with the help of the show's lovable leader, Roger the Rhino. But, when the veil of Hollywood is lifted, we learn the actors are actually late-20s fuckups. Don't Judge a Book by its Cover, indeed.

Ghost Fighting Corporation

So many people came together to make this film happen. Thank you to every single one of them. We both appreciate everything you've done for this project. There aren't many people who would say yes to doing something like this, especially when I said "I can't pay you very much or at all" so thanks. Please watch the end for full credits! Everyone deserves a round of applause. Except for Ciaran. Ciaran is fired.
