The unlikely duo is tasked with missions to seek out and save a mishmash of characters who are at the crosswords of their lives and seem to be searching for love and acceptance in all the wrong places.

Lee Milby is a graduate of the exclusive Cooper Union School of Art, having earned a BFA while specializing in large scale oil paintings. After graduating she developed a serious allergy to oil paint and was forced to abandon her original passion and seek out new creative outlets. She stumbled upon video making as a means of paying her rent, filming raves and shows as a freelancer. This gave her a crash course in camera work and direction and led to Lee discovering a new passion for videography. When she first started out, Lee believed that directing was not something meant for her, as being a 5-foot-tall trans-racially adopted asian woman with a background in oil painting did not fit the traditional mold of a film director. But with perseverance and a bit of luck, she realized that she had a talent for directing, and that her unconventional background gave her a unique vision, one she implemented in projects like the Sci-Fi short Forge. Today, Lee uses her non-traditional background to her advantage, both as a source of passion and creativity, but also to keep her focused on what really matters in every project, which is exploring the common humanity in all of us.
