Cheryl wrote, directed and produced this funny four-episode webiseries for the Puget Sound Health Alliance Own Your Health campaign.
For this project, Cheryl created a series of narrative shorts featuring a hapless but likeable office worker named Marty, who comes down with a rash and deals with his healthcare choices in entirely the wrong way. His rash-related misadventures in each of four episodes set the stage for the four primary messages of the client's healthcare education campaign. To complete this project on budget, Cheryl decided on a primarily handheld two-camera approach. Thanks to a fantastic cast and crew, all the footage for the four episodes was shot in two days! Tracy Dethlefs created the terrific retro-sitcom opening titles.
