ICE CREAM SODA pilot
David co-created and co-wrote this pilot - ICE CREAM SODA - a sweet fun kids show in the vein of Dexter’s Laboratory meets Bob’s Burgers. While the series ultimately didn’t workout the result is fun, funny and pure Jenkins. This project is another early Dolt project as David, Tom and Jack were the three who each saw the overall vision and ultimately lead to them wanting to work together more.
