When a perpetual third wheel tries to find love, he asks his best friends, a couple, for help.
While working on creative projects, I try not to lose sight of two things: to make things with friends, and to have fun." Third Wheel Material was a chance for me to do both. My dear friend Lyandre Pierre has a penchant for comedy and was putting together a series that was gonna be a throwback to the sictoms we grew up on. When he invited me on as a producer, I couldn't resist. Third Wheel Material is a weirdly sweet comedy about a single person stuck in a world of couples - a funny and unique facet of Lyandre's perspective that I was happy to help bring to life.
