BIRTHDAY BOY 🎉 Isaac has not only been a huge part of why the writing in Basil King is soooo good but he’s also one of our best friends.
He’s been with us since the beginning and to see his talent grow each and every year has been amazing. We love you bro and BK would definitely not be the same without you!
We hope your birthday is badass!!
And the video on the last slide — I just couldn’t help myself haha when you and I were scouting locations for the proof of concept short. Such a fun time and a funny throwback 🌿👑
