City of Weed: A Sitcom About City Manager Life with Tim Rundel | Ep. 08
City Manager Tim Rundel is the city manager for the City of Weed, California. He is also a documentarian and an artist. He has been working for several years to get a sitcom about a small town city manager produced. Think of a cross between "The Office" and "Parks & Recreation".
The show is called "City of Weed."
A pilot is set to be filmed in the next couple of months and a casting call has been issued. Tim talks us through the development of this show and how it came to fruition.
He also talks about his soon-to-be-released documentary about an Oklahoma subculture consisting of indivduals who use riding lawnmowers as their primary form of transportation. It is called the "B'CATS: Bryan County Alternative Transportation Society."
Along the way, Tim recounts some of the crazy situtions he encountered as the city manager for Durant, Oklahoma in this hilarious and entertaining episode.
