Deep Rising: Sandeep Parikh
In partnership with Half Cut Tea, a two person team that travels the country looking for artists and telling their stories through short documentary films.
One of the first people we reached out to while trying to get Half Cut Tea off the ground was Sandeep Parikh. We'd been following his career since he released his webseries "The Legend of Neil" for Comedy Central in 2007. Since then he went on to costar in Felicia Day's groundbreaking webseries "The Guild" for 6 seasons. In his off-time, he was creating content for The Nerdist Channel, My Damn Channel, and his own channel Effin Funny.
