Principal photography begins Monday (June 17, 2019) on HEART BABY EGGPLANT, a new comedy series created by and starring actresses Alison Haislip (CON MAN, SUPERSTORE), Rati Gupta (BIG BANG THEORY, FUTURE MAN), and ArieScope alumni Laura Ortiz (HOLLISTON, VICTOR CROWLEY). Inspired by true stories, the seven episode single-camera series takes an honest and humorous look at different styles of relationships in today’s world: from casual sex and dating, to the pursuit of one’s true love, all the way to marriage and motherhood.
Written by Rati Gupta, HEART BABY EGGPLANT is an ArieScope Pictures production produced by Sarah Elbert (HATCHET, HOLLISTON) and directed by Adam Green (HATCHET, FROZEN) with director of photography Will Barratt (FROZEN, DIGGING UP THE MARROW) lensing the series.
“I’m confident that fans of HOLLISTON and ArieScope’s many other comedy projects are going to absolutely love HEART BABY EGGPLANT,” says Green. “Rati’s writing announces the arrival of a truly exciting new voice in the world of comedy writing and I became an enormous fan immediately upon reading her scripts for HBE. Sarah came aboard as the producer first and within 48 hours (literally) our whole family had embraced the project and rallied behind the three amazing women that created it.”
