Storytime from Quarantine: Second Wave

Art Character saga: Part 3

2021: The quarantine drags on. The entire world is in a holding pattern. This includes TV show host Stanislaus, who wants to produce new episodes of his children's show but is unable to do so. After repeatedly hiring him for radio hosting, commercial endorsements, and the like, his producers have had his living space converted into a shared apartment due to budget cuts. His new roommate is a lecherous retiree – a situation Stanislaus is anything but happy about.

Storytime from Quarantine: Second Wave takes the viewer on a journey that masquerades as an apartment hunt but, along the way, raises questions about teamwork, friendship, identity, and sexuality. In doing so, the artist’s autobiographical elements are explored in a humorous yet critical manner.
