HELP WANTED
A SERIES FOR NYU’S TV BOOTCAMP
They say college is the best four years of your life. For Chloe, that may not necessarily be the case. We follow her as she tries to navigate the intricacies of relationships in college through a story full of drama, humor, and a little bit of therapy. What happens when too many secrets pile up between best friends? Will Chloe be able to save the day?
HELP WANTED is a dramedy set in New York City that follows Chloe, Max, Emma, and Oliver as they traverse a time of transition. The show is a little ridiculous, a lot of fun, and there’s going to be a Halloween party. So grab some candy and stay tuned!
What is TV Bootcamp?
TV Bootcamp is an intermediate level production class in the Undergraduate Film & TV Department at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. This semester, each class produces two series consisting of five episodes each. The students take on various roles to help bring these shows to life!

A Note From the Showrunner
I am honored and humbled to be given the opportunity to make this series a reality. I am so lucky to work with such a talented group of individuals. Everyone has played an integral role in making Help Wanted happen and I am looking forward to producing a series we can all be proud of.
As of right now, we are months into the prep work and will be shooting very soon! The process is scary and exciting and one of a kind.
