Brat, a teen-leaning production studio founded by Rob Fishman — who also launched the Twitter-owned influencer marketing company Niche — has unveiled its latest original series, Sheltered.
Starring 18-year-old lifestyle vlogger Nazanin Kavari, Sheltered is a send-up of vlogger culture, and chronicles the adventures of a YouTube beauty guru who remains desperately dedicated to posting even in a post-apocalytpic world. Nate Wyatt co-stars as Kavari’s on-again/off-again boyfriend. The first two episodes of the series — which were directed by Asher Levin, written by Jenny Jaffe, and produced by Brat alongside Nazanin’s manager, Triana Lavey — are currently available on the company’s YouTube channel.

Brat has also created the high school comedy Too Cool For School starring beauty vlogger Siena Mirabella and The Pain Of Painting with Jason Nash — an interview show in which Nash and guests test out their artistic skills.
