Fishtown: A Hipster Noir
Tribe of Fools
Philadelphia Fringe Festival 2017
A luddite private eye stumbles onto a virtual reality conspiracy when a new app allows you to live out your wildest fantasies... at a cost. Fishtown: A Hipster Noir explores our addiction to technology, our loneliness in an over-connected world, and asks what constitutes reality. It’s Chinatown meets Black Mirror meets Roger Rabbit.

PRESS for Fishtown: A Hipster Noir
“Ahmed is so convincing as a millennial douchebag tech CEO that you may find yourself wanting to stick your foot out when his Razor scooter zooms past.”
– Rebecca Rendell, Talkin' Broadway
"Cool and sometimes ridiculous, FISHTOWN’s a winner. I’m pret-tysure you haven’t seen something just like this before. This is what you’re looking for. This is Fringe. Tribe of Fools delivers the goods… again."
– Kathryn Osenlun, Phindie
