What is Taking Umbrage?

Taking Umbrage is a story of the politically correct, the suspicious and the bizarre. An extremist hippy, a lonely hypochondriac and a boy with a new fetish daily take umbrage from the world in the recently deceased Magnanimous Madame Agnes’ Fundraising house for fatalities of the Mosh. Sharing accommodation with a death metal fan, who stays fixed to his couch they try to tackle the normalities of life in absurd ways.

Taking Umbrage is a 6-episode mini-series that will total approximately 15 minutes running time. It aims to comment on how absurd our “normal” lives really are through the way the 4 main characters interact. Pushing extremes beyond the norm it presents characters that take life far too seriously. Thus resulting in an absolutely absurd gaggle of seemingly pointless rubbish.
