The Laddies Show Series Compilation

This is The Laddies Show series compilation that we submitted for the college Emmys. It contains the show's comedy sketches from episodes 1, 2, and 3.

Second Ham Blues

This is a musical duet that was written and composed by Graam Liu and Immanuel Abraham for the first episode of "The Laddies Show." Graam Liu is performing the piece as his alter ego "Graamowitz Kapustin" while Immanuel accompanies him with the violin. The performance was shot using a Canon DSLR.

Green Eggs and Haggis

This is one of the comedy sketches that I wrote that is featured in the third episode of the Laddies Show. I am performing as Darek Macloud, the Scotsman who is reading Green Eggs and Haggis (Dr. Suess' "Green Eggs and Ham") to two children from a prestigious orphanage called "Her Lady's Lack of Mercy." The orphans were played by fellow crew members Lisa Kottler and Yuxing Xia and was directed by David Vallejo. I edited the sketch using Avid Media Composer.

Second Ham

Whiteboard Pranks, Relationship Guidance, and RAs. These are some of the things you are about to see in a normal day at the Second Ham Dormitory.

A single-cam shot sitcom written and directed by Graam Liu, that I edited on Avid Media Composer. The pilot was shot in the dorms of the North Campus of the University of Michigan.

Blessing in the Family

A multi-cam sitcom written and directed by Derek Fawaz & Graam Liu. The pilot was shot in the production studios of North Quad at the University of Michigan and edited by me, using Adobe Premiere Pro.

It's about a young Lebanese woman named Zeina who works at her father's gas station. She is doing her best to help her family, but ends up creating more problems for the station due to her inexperience working in the environment. In the middle of giving up Zeina realizes that there is no shame in making mistakes and achieves the potential her family expects from her.
