Forgotten animals, “bridesmaids meets the office”
Described as “Bridesmaids meets The Office” by Taylor Strecker, Forgotten Animals is a workplace comedy about a group of misfit women who come together to help some of the least popular animals on earth. In the full-length pilot, Diane, Karen, Elle, Margo, and Beth throw a luncheon to save 20 homeless raccoons before chaos ensues. Jessie co-wrote and starred in the pilot. Watch now.
Vulture quote:
“In this indie pilot from Jessie Jolles and Sarah Smallwood Parsons, a group of women in charge of a struggling nonprofit devoted to the wellbeing of unpopular animals take it upon themselves to throw a luncheon for homeless raccoons, with disastrous results. Evoking the colorful tone and joke-a-minute pace of the best of the sitcoms that emerged in the wake of 30 Rock, Jolles, Parsons, and director Alec Cohen lead an impressively deep roster of characters that each get showcase moments. The only reason not to click it is to avoid your inevitable craving for a whole season.”
