Screenplay Katja Blichfeld

A nameless cannabis courier cycles around New York making deliveries, and each stop opens onto a stranger's apartment and a story that has nothing to do with him. Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld created it as a web series on Vimeo in 2012, with episodes running only as long as the story needed and Sinclair playing the dealer known simply as The Guy. HBO picked it up and aired four seasons between 2016 and 2020, keeping the anthology structure and the habit of following whoever happens to be more interesting.
