Director: Jax Medel
Instead of attending law school like his parents believe him to be doing, Brian, played by Conner Marx (Z Nation, Leverage) works in an autoshop with his buddy Jim, played by Parvesh Cheena (A to Z, Arrested Development, Outsourced). Unfortunately, when his sister Skyler (who has her own secret) arrives early at their parent's house for their Dad's birthday (otherwise known as 'annual lasagna dinner night'), a seemingly innocuous comment leads to a string of hilarious misinterpretations throughout dinner on Brian's new career path. The Pradys is a story of the often comedic consequences that arise as a result of little family secrets and sibling rivalry.

Kiel Johnson plans to travel outside of the country for 12 weeks, and wants to sublease the apartment she's in. She's narrowed it down to Amanda--a freelance musician; Steven & James--a gay couple; and Kris--a graduate student. As she conducts interviews with them, we witness each character display a skewed version of themselves. The old adage, "You don't really know someone until you live with them," rings true when watching these characters and their roommates in action.
