The Franchise

While problems plague the set of the latest Maximum Studios superhero film Tecto: Eye of the Storm, First Assistant Director Dan scrambles to keep the crew afloat amid a series of shakeups.

Hoping to wrap on a complicated stunt by the end of the day, Dan faces unsolicited scrutiny from Dag, while Anita asserts herself as the film's newest producer, and Eric demands more extras.

After the media decides Maximum Studios has a "woman problem," Anita asks the crew to find ways to empower the film's only female character. Meanwhile, Adam's questionable supplement regimen takes its toll.

While they prepare for a big celebrity cameo from the studio's most popular superhero, the Tecto crew finds themselves at odds with another film within Maximum franchise.

When Peter is called onto the set of Maximum's latest tentpole, Dag is recruited to help with Adam's insecurities. As Anita struggles to incorporate some unusual product placement, Eric deals with a disgruntled crew.
