WAY DOWN follows ALEX, a struggling non-binary photographer and the bass player for an even more struggling band in New York City, where they live with their girlfriend/bandmate TYLER. Broke, queer, almost-30-year-old artists navigate life and heartache in the city’s most ass-kicking neighborhood. It’s about to go down.

The series was born as a collaboration between the creator/writer Grant James Varjas & wild project theatre as a way to stay creative & employ artists of all kinds during the pandemic. The show was shot in the East Village, whose resilient artistic community inspired the stories & characters
