In this mockumentary, a rag-tag film crew follows Tammy Bliss, the second-best children’s talent agent in Mudwater, Texas, as she scrambles to salvage her career after the loss of her star client to a rival talent agent (think “The Comeback” meets “Waiting for Guffman”).
Desperate for on-camera redemption, Tammy resorts to championing her least-favorite client, an oddball eight-year old with an affinity for snails and a disdain for the entertainment industry. Tammy's delusions of being a successful, Hollywood-bound, Girl Boss, are put to the test as she and her assistant Marco set out to land their hopeless client the role of Annie at the local dinner theater.

R&R is a comedic pilot following Robbie and Rachel, codependent twins trying to “make it” in LA. Rachel (a sarcastic, raunchy, gay mess) brings the chaos, and Robbie (a neurotically organized, hopeless romantic with Down syndrome) cleans up the pieces. 
In a typical, yet chaotic, day in their lives, the twins do all the quintessential 20-something things: work horrible service industry jobs, accidentally take laxatives, fill up their gas tank in $10 increments, and of course, start a podcast.
