Don’t Be Frank | TV Series
This comedy follows kiwi amateur film director, Frank Anthony, who has no people skills, in the quest of making his first motion picture;
a romantic, zombie, war film. Struggling with the challenges of getting a film up and running, Frank takes a disgruntled group of local inexperienced cast and crew through a highly entertaining and disastrous journey of making a movie. Despite all of the negative backlash he gets from the Industry, and the calamities on- set, Frank is determined to complete his ultra low-budget blockbuster movie and live out his true calling to be an award winning film director.
