Biography

The Donutshop, Inc. was started via an unlikely friendship between Ryan Nelson and Jeannie Dalton.  Little did we know that we had so much in common when we started our first project, How Did That Happen?!  


HOW DID THAT  HAPPEN?!
Two mismatched New Yorkers become roommates and thru comic trials, tribulations and hi-jinks, a makeshift family is formed.  A series that seeks to expose and poke fun at the hidden biases we all share and live with every day.

How Did THAT Happen?! is a comedy centered on the relationship that develops between Ginny, a quirky, white, single-mom & actor, who is rapidly approaching 40, and Trey, a hip, young, black  restaurateur.  Set against the backdrop of NYC, with all of its colorful personalities, our story starts off with Ginny in financial crisis and Trey attempting to extricate himself from a toxic relationship with his girlfriend.  The antics that ensue during this web-com take them from upscale restaurants, to police lock-up, to a homeless shelter.  All the while the two unlikely roommates are building a bond neither could have foreseen or imagined.

​This pilot episode is directed by award winning television and commercial director Laurence Shanet, under the watchful eye of award winning Director of Photography Craig Melville. All supported by a cast and crew, better than money could buy.

Since producing and shooting the pilot for this comedic sit-com, we are looking to get the series made in full. we have explored ideas for other series and films.
