During a residency at Queenslab, Baseera Khan will begin work on a pilot for a television show. In collaboration with a community of close friends, Khan will stage, direct, and perform scenes based on intimate, real-life conversations and situations. By creating a modular film set that replicates their own apartment, Khan cultivates comfort amongst their performers/friends and collapses the parallel realities of the often-lonely domestic life and abundant online social life that many are experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In Residence at Queenslab: September 11–October 11, 2020

Livestream Rehearsals: September 11–13 and 18

Livestream of Film Shoots: September 19–20 and 25–27

Rough cuts of selected scenes to be released after September 27

Featured performers include Brandon E. Burton, Vaginal Davis, Lia Gangitano and T De Long, Rico Gatson, Logan Jardine and Ethan Weinstock, Baseera Khan, Munira Lokhandwala, Amy Sillman
