ASST (pronounced "Assist") was created by Josh Cohen in order to tell the story of all those assistants worldwide that are over-worked, under paid, and unappreciated. This is their story. A view from the bottom up. Series Background Our six main characters, like most in the industry, are chained to their desks all day, every day. They communicate via a Video Conference (called ASST), where the 6 of them go about their daily work while keeping each other entertained, and sane. Together they help each other survive insane bosses, deadlines, and impossible tasks asked of them on a daily basis. Characters We follow the lives of Zack Wells (an asst at a large talent agency), Erica Morrison (an actor's home assistant), Brandon Gross (a producer's asst), Marcus Steele (a comic book studio assistant), Jill Davis (a costume warehouse assistant), and Kerry Collins (an assistant at an entertainment law firm).
