The coming-of-age of comedy will forever be a staple of comedy film and television as it both continues to resonate with audiences across the generations and also, well, time only goes one direction as far as we experience it. With that in mind, American High has carefully built an empire around feature length comedies that focus in on this very popular niche and have done so well that they’ve assembled a plethora of digital teams including Barely Adult. We got to talk with the brains and cast and boss of this very popular off-shoot of American High to see what goes into expanding the American High cinematic universe.
