After a brutal breakup, Rachel moves home to do some serious wound licking. Unwilling to allow her daughter to wallow in brokenhearted misery, Janet (aka. Mom) persuades her to try online dating, but the only way Rachel agrees is if her ever-single mother signs up as well. And thus the story begins.

AT YOUR FEET
Comedy/Drama | Web Series | 2015–2017
Rachel and Kat are shoe shiners. The twelve episodes of Series 1 add up to a day at the shine where the girls come face to feet with corporate culture, the various interactions had with customers and what goes down when no one's around. A mixture of genders and generations, finance and flirtation. Shining shoes is hard work but somebodies got to do it. Hey man, girls gotta eat.

"The clip compiles footage of Waterhouse and his band playing the song in a series of dark and dirty neon-sign joints whose intimate nature suits the song’s ramshackle vibe. The cut itself is an expertly blended mélange of styles—soul, Cuban rhythm, blues, funk, the kinds of sounds that are played in bars like this all over the country."
"The song will make you feel like a very adult night of hazy drinking and hazier flirting. The video for “Sleeping Pills” will make you grateful that you’re not a teenager anymore."
