Overview

"Faking It" is a side-splitting TV pilot that takes audiences on a rollercoaster of laughter and unexpected twists. Meet Brandon, a successful businessman hiding his true identity as a closeted gay man to appease his homophobic boss. When he crosses paths with Shayna, an immigrant girl in need of legal papers, they hatch a zany plan: a 'Tinder marriage' to maintain their secret lives. As they navigate their new roles as a married couple, hilarity ensues as they inadvertently build a remarkable family life and an enduring friendship. With each episode, their comedic mishaps in keeping up appearances unfold, shedding light on the absurdity of societal expectations and the power of authenticity. "Faking It" is a hysterical slapstick comedy that showcases the resilience of love, friendship, and the extraordinary bonds that form amidst the chaos of maintaining a double life.

About Us

Hello, I'm Marina Lang of MMM Productions & Talent.

I'm the proud founder of a female-owned production company with a rich history of bringing creative visions to life. Over the years, we've crafted an impressive portfolio, having produced music videos, short films, and captivating commercials/infomercials.

One of our most significant accomplishments was "Invisible Flags," a poignant 30-minute short film shedding light on the critical issue of domestic violence. This powerful project garnered a staggering 22 awards at various esteemed film festivals, showcasing our commitment to impactful storytelling.

My journey in the world of entertainment started at a young age. I began my acting career at just 15, and by the time I was 21, I was already a prominent figure on major network soap operas and reality shows in India. In 2018, I ventured to Los Angeles, where I spent three years successfully running two startups.

Now, in 2022, I'm thrilled to share that I've started three startups of my own, all before the age of 25. My passion for bringing creative ideas to life extends beyond pen and paper, and I'm eager to apply my entrepreneurial spirit to this new venture.

With "Faking It", I'm embarking on a fresh creative journey. This project is deeply personal to me, and I'm excited to fuse my background in acting, entrepreneurship, and storytelling to make it a reality.

By supporting this campaign, you're not just backing a TV pilot; you're supporting a driven individual with a proven track record of turning dreams into reality. Your contribution will directly impact our ability to produce a remarkable TV pilot that will captivate audiences.

I invite you to join me on this exciting adventure and be part of something truly special. Your trust and support are invaluable, and together, we can create meaningful entertainment that leaves a lasting impact.

Thank you for considering joining us on this journey. Let's make this TV pilot a reality together!
