What happens

The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo is an American comedy web series created, written, directed by and starring Brian Jordan Alvarez, who plays Caleb Gallo and executive produced by Justin Berns. The series features actors Stephanie Koenig, Jon Ebeling, Antonio Marziale, Ken Kirby, and Jason Greene. The series ran for five episodes on YouTube from January 4 to September 2, 2016. The series explores LGBTQ themes, featuring genderfluid and gay characters. The show's style has been described as absurdist and surreal. As Jude Dry of IndieWire describes, "Brian Jordan Alvarez uses the traditional sitcom as a foundation to imagine a world a few marbles short of reality." Steven Horowitz of Paper notes that while the series "may stretch beyond the limits of reality, it's actually deeply rooted in it." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
