Premise

The fictional series takes place on April 11, 2010 - the day of the real-life 2nd Annual Streamy Awards. Justin Tyler and Alden Ford play struggling actors who write a web series script and road trip across Los Angeles to crash The Streamy Awards and convince Felicia Day to be the star of their show.[4]

The series was nominated for Best Branded Entertainment series at the 2011 Banff World Media Festival.[9]
