Higher Ups Title

higher ups

Agents, assistants and… aliens? Higher Ups is a fast-paced satire of the acting industry, with a touch of the paranormal for good measure. It’s Call My Agent! meets Signs

When acting agency mogul Brian Douglas turns up uncharacteristically late to an important meeting in London, his long-suffering assistant Daisy and new starter Natasha must navigate rocky waters as it becomes apparent that he believes that he was abducted by “higher beings” the night before. 

With Glynn, a man claiming to have inexplicably found him on the road in Wales that morning, and Samuel, an obnoxious status-seeker trying to keep business as usual, Brian’s power and crumbling mental state soon turns the agency into anarchy.

 

Starring: Alice Marshall (This Time with Alan Partridge), Dominic Taylor (Eastenders, The Bodyguard), Gemma Caseley-Kirk (Major Labia), Ben Lydon (Drifters) and Jacob Lovick (HangDog).
