Half-Hour Comedy
LOGLINE: Four 20-something medical "Zebras" become reluctant comrades-in-arms in a weekly support group as they try to figure out how to act like functional adults in a world ill-equipped to cope with the chronic realities of illness and disability.
DAZZLE is a coming-of-age story that explores the search for community and coming out in non-traditional ways. Brutally honest — to the point it’s comedic — the series follows a collective of college-aged (18-25) medical Zebras as they convene for weekly rumination in a hospital support group for those coping with chronic, progressive, degenerative (meaning, sometimes, ultimately, eventually terminal) illnesses and the disabilities these conditions create.
DAZZLE pulls no punches as it shows the stripes of these 20-somethings and makes their realities visible in an irreverent navigation through the funny, messy, depressing, chaotic, dazzling stories that make up the life of the rare medical Zebra.
