Director Statement

I feel very spoiled to have worked with the incredible cast and crew of "Fool Me Slice." This truly was a team effort done on a shoestring budget to bring together this piece. This was That Plus Chips's first foray into doing digital sketch comedy, and it could not have gone more smoothly. I loved working on this project.
