Hollow Earth pioneer Captain John Cleves Symmes is from Morristown. And now...

Weird New Jersey Presents
PARKER HIGHLAND ALWAYS WINS!
"Smart, thrilling, utterly hilarious — fire up the oscillation overthrusters: PARKER HIGHLAND takes you back to the future that the eighties always promised us." - Lev Grossman, The Magicians
"Delightfully insane." -Marco Palmieri, Tor.com
Bowie is dead. Trump is President. What else can go wrong?
It's 2017. But analog and 8-bit reign supreme, and the internet doesn't exist. Google is a hotline. NTFLX is a TV station. There are no cell phones. Apple Shack is the leading manufacturer of handheld transceivers (i.e. walkie talkies). Millenials "morse" obsessively. And the most robust business on Main Street is a VHS rental shop called Planet of the Tapes. Oh, and the earth just might be hollow. Welcome to Highland Hollow. Founded in 1902 by Scottish laird/crypto-geologist Hammish Highland. Home of the "Highland Hole," the deepest cavern in North America, and of Parker Highland: lounge singer, geoscientist, high school senior, and the only one who can save us. Because every town needs a hero. And Parker Highland always wins. Or does she? Find out!
"Hey Whovians, Buffybots, Browncoats, and Tweakers! Parker Highland is your new obsession! Wildly inventive and funny as hell." -Clay McLeod Chapman, Ghost Eaters, Wake Up & Open Your Eyes
Written/Directed by Alex Dawson. From a story by Alex Dawson and Brian Onken. Featuring Carlyle Owens, Jeff Maschi, Shawna Lagan, Jane Beverley, Will Rogers, and jazz vocalist Danielle Illario as Parker Highland.
"The fast, words-in-edgewise banter of Gilmore Girls meets the menacing mytharc of the X-Files canon. Welcome to the Freaks & Peaks mash-up you never knew you wanted. Effin' awesome." - Will Rogers, Blackwood & Earth Break
A love letter to New Jersey, alternate realities, and the awesome eighties (by someone who lived through it).
