The Human Resource - web sitcom about a failing video production company

THE HUMAN RESOURCE - three-part British web sitcom

Turtle Canyon Comedy, independent comedy producers based in both Pinewood Studios, UK and Seattle, USA have released a three-part sitcom starring top comedy stars James Acaster and Ben Target, along with a range of other up and coming comedians, and is based in the inauspicious setting of a failing video production company.

The show was developed from Stuart Laws & Al Clayton’s (the writer/directors) own history in running a corporate video company and some of the more extreme experiences they’ve had. So The Human Resource is based around Direct Digital Videos, a company circling the drain thanks to poor management and even worse client retention. Entering this situation is Max, the company’s first official employee and the only sane person in an office of immature entrepreneurs, hyperactive clients and rogue security guards.

The Human Resource is a fast-paced, semi-improvised sitcom in the style of Arrested Development or Operation Good Guys, combined with the lunacy of Shooting Stars. Each of the three 10-12 minute episodes link together to form one storyline and Turtle Canyon Comedy see it as the launching point for future episodes.
