Juice Bar" is a socially relevant television comedy set in the world of a contemporary Juice Bar and Health Center.  Currently in pre-production, this groundbreaking new series will redefine what can be achieved in the medium of television.

 

The highly imaginative universe of "Juice Bar" satirizes the attempts of the new age,  organic, and spirituality movements to survive in the midst of modern business, media, and good old-fashioned human lunacy/ idiocy.

 

An explosion of magical realism,..the plants, herbs, berries, elixirs and tonics take on a near life of their own in this state-of-the-art Juice Bar and Health Center; as the brilliant, but flawed, employees work their brand of semi-wizardry, and the beloved, but desperate, regulars try to 

soak up any ounce of enlightenment they can find here.

 

Seekers flock from around the world to this magical mecca to cure their eczema, alleviate their anxiety, or maybe even save their soul.  The result is a colorful multi/ single-camera hybrid of a show, where the imaginations of its participants take us from the comfy sitcom of the Juice Bar...into the playground of film, and back home again at moment's notice.

 

Like anyone on this planet, the characters of "Juice Bar" never know if they're in a sitcom or a tragedy, an action adventure or a mystery, an epic drama or a cartoon.  However, we quickly learn that what's "real" in this world is less important than what makes you "feel" real. Grab a tonic and your slice of reality, and pull up a stool at the "Juice Bar."
