In just 24 hours, Comedy Series Lab graduate Sandi Rankaduwa's TV teaser has surpassed 100,000 views on YouTube! 🤩

Set in the early 2010s, THREADBARE is a messy, raw comedy about a hyper-stylized clothing retailer selling s*x, authenticity, and "multicultural cool" to a disenfranchised generation. When Sunila, a liberal young South Asian woman, lands a job at Standard Thread, she's pulled into a chaotic world of blurred boundaries, provocative branding, and employees expected to embody the lifestyle they're selling.
