Flat3 Explained

Flat3 is a New Zealand comedy web series written and directed by Roseanne Liang. It stars co-creators JJ Fong as Jessica, Perlina Lau as Perlina, and Ally Xue as Lee.[1]

Flat3 premiered on YouTube and Vimeo on 22 February 2013.[2] The show focuses around three Asian Kiwi girls living together in Auckland. Lee, Jessica, and Perlina are young flat-mates searching for romance, employment, and self-confidence in the creative and comedic world. The style is self-described as "sometimes smart, often silly, a little rude and a lot awkward".

History

JJ Fong, Perlina Lau and Ally Xue were inspired to create a comedy web series after experiencing a lack of roles as Asian actresses working in the New Zealand screen industry. Flat3 formed when Roseanne Liang of My Wedding and Other Secrets joined the team as writer and director. After missing out on funding from New Zealand On Air, the creators called upon friends to help shoot the first season. The show was screened at the Friars Comedy Club Festival 2013 in New York.[3]

Season three received NZ$100,000 in funding from New Zealand on Air.[4] It was also the show's final season, although there were suggestions of a possible television show.[5]

Season 1

Season one features six 7-minute episodes. The plot follows Lee, Jessica, and Perlina as they try to "figure out who they are, what they’re doing in this life, and whose turn it is to buy toilet paper."[6]
