MunchCo Calling! The Story!

MunchCo Calling! is a comedy-adventure about a yorkie pekingese with a nose for corporate evolution. When personal tragedy strikes renowned CEO, Ralph Munch, a new path emerges for his global empire: common good as the bottom line.  

The finishing touches are being applied to the pilot episode of MunchCo Calling!  The next steps are:
  • Find the right multi-channel network for distribution
  • Shop the pilot for sponsors
  • Produce the remaining four episodes of season one
  • Keep the dream alive!

Every five-episode season explores how a single division of the MunchCo empire can become more sustainable, responsible, and alive to the common good. Season one spotlights fashion and apparel. Future seasons will take on media, education, farming, and pharmaceuticals. MunchCo Calling! aims to entertain and inform Gens Y and Z. 

5-time Tony award nominee, Danny Burstein (Ralph Munch) galavants with co-stars, Olivia Kinter (Binnie Bunny) and Alexandra Hellquist (Chickie Munch).

Please support the production of Season One as Ralph, his family, and colleagues enter the MunchDeck to transform your typical multi-national corporation into the most socially responsible and sustainable company on the planet!
