We're Doing The Multiverse Thing: The Musical

Starting as a teenager, I spent 7 years creating this sci-fi comedy musical featuring 30 original songs (I wrote all the lyrics myself). I wrote, directed, and edited this feature-length sci-fi musical comedy for $1200 with no crew. That's about 300,000 times less expensive than some Hollywood blockbusters.
