THE PROJECT
The latest creative project from Mirandum Pictures is a comedy mini-series called Fruitcake. Consisting of 10 episodes, 7 minutes each, Fruitcake is set during Christmastime, and is about a college guy with commitment issues. One night he has too much to drink, and decides to end the suspense by mailing his girlfriend an engagement ring - in a box of fruitcake. When he wakes up and realizes what happened, he rushes over to explain, but his girlfriend acts like nothing’s wrong. Since nobody actually eats fruitcake, she had cheerfully re-gifted the box without even opening it. Which is which is exactly what the next person to receive the fruitcake does. And the person after that . . .
Fruitcake revolves around our hero's wild goose chase as he desperately tries to catch up with the fruitcake, and its precious cargo--which he absolutely must do before Christmas comes and someone is finally forced to open the box.
