PETRICHOR WITH ALEX OWEN, ELLIE WHITE, LOLLY ADEFOPE, KATY WIX & MORE Petrichor is a long good series about a short bad film. We follow a deluded auteur trying to make the short film 'Petrichor'. But he's more in love with the idea of making a film than the film he's actually making. Stars Alex Owen, Ellie White, Al Roberts, Lolly Adefope, Katy Wix and more. "Cringingly funny web sitcom with a fantastic cast...Will Farrell and Ben Rowse's four-parter shows there's life in the mockumentary yet." **** (Guardian) https://youtu.be/hqTpplTesQs SKETCH, CHARACTER DATES:
