WHAT?  Starter Pack

WHY SHOULD I WATCH?

Avenue Q asked what do you do with a BA in English and Starter Pack asks what do you do with a Masters in Art History.  Ayana Martin (Jasmine Luv) is twenty-five years old and eleven months ago she graduated with a Masters in Art History and thought that the Art world would fall at her feet. Sadly, she was wrong. Her dream is to be a curator at a museum and change with world with art, but a short eleven months later she has received her 55^th rejection and is beginning to lose hope. Thankfully, Ayana has an upcoming interview with The Spoke Art Gallery. Unfortunately, not only does she continue to get coffee stains all over her interview shirt, but she also has a fight with her dimwit boyfriend Bryce (Anthony Padilla) who makes all of his money creating memes and posting them to the internet. In this cruel reality we live in Bryce is well paid and under educated and Ayana is well educated and broke.

The interview with The Spoke goes horribly as a new director of the museum has been hired who has the attention span of a gnat and as much knowledge of art as a Bryce. Enraged at the culmination of events, Ayana has an emotional outburst where she tells the new director that he might as well just curate memes. Of course, this incredibly vain and shallow man loves this idea and Ayana finally has her first job offer in the art world. Much to her shock and dismay, it is to curate an exhibit of memes featuring none other than Bryce! To meme or not to meme? That appears to be the question for Ayana going forward. Will she take the job? Will she abandon her hopes to change the world with art? Will she find her own way to elevate the meme? Will she give up on her dream? You will have to turn into Facebook Watch every Monday when new episodes are release in order to find out. The first episode premiered on August 20^th and there is plenty of time to catch up now before the next episode is released.

WHERE CAN I WATCH?  There are three episodes that have already been released and can be found on Facebook Watch.
