CGiii Comment

WAY DOWN is about ALEX, a struggling non-binary photographer and the bass player for an even more struggling band in New York City's East Village, where they live with their girlfriend and bandmate TYLER. The band is constantly on the verge of imploding, mostly due to the drunken exploits of GRAY, the lead singer, as well as the dysfunctional/incestuous Fleetwood Mac-like relationships between the bandmates. Also complicating things is ALEX'S continued relationships with their ex-girlfriend SHERRIE, who has resurfaced a year after the couple's acrimonious breakup.

ALEX is questioning everything: their relationship, the band, their job, their life. Something's gotta give. The action takes place in various Lower East Side locations: rehearsal spaces, a theater, bars, restaurants, and the art gallery where ALEX works for AUDREY. The show showcases LGBTQIA+, through a variety of female-centric cast of all genders and ages, much like the East Village itself. The series was born as a collaboration between the creator/writer Grant James Varjas and the Wild Project as a way to stay creative and employ artists of all kinds during the pandemic. The show was shot in the East Village, whose resilient artistic community inspired the stories and characters.
