‘The Other Half’
Dave Channel
August 2022
Directed by Akaash Meeda
Produced by Ranga Bee Productions

My sitcom pilot The Other Half premiered on 23rd August 2022 on Dave. Co-written with Zak Ghazi-Torbati, the script won TriForce Creative Network’s WriterSlam competition, and was produced for UKTV by Ranga Bee Productions.

Navid Dafydd Navidi is half-Welsh, half-Iranian and 100% that bitch. Like every regional, gay millennial, he tries to re- invent himself in the big city, shacked up with his best friend’s painfully privileged family. But the more he tries to keep the two halves of his life apart, the more they keep crashing into each other...
