The Basics (TV show)

The Basics is an American web series six-episode created by Liz Demmon, Rachel Horwitz, Mahayla Laurence, Chloe Troast, and Jamie Linn Watson.[1] It is directed by Mary Clare Plaschke and Ryan Beggs. The show follows five young women, Kendyll Lyndsay, Becka, Maegaen, Tiggy, and MJ as they attempt to conquer the male-dominated world of New York City comedy. The self proclaimed "girl-bosses" must overcome their perceived vapidness and femininity to make a name for themselves in the indie comedy sphere.

The Basics originally premiered on Vimeo on January 15, 2021. It was also made available on IGTV, with one episode releases every Friday. The project was initially launched on Kickstarter where it raised over $13,000.[2] The Basics was an official selection of the 2021 NY Lift-Off Film festival.[3]
