Chuchi and Adaliz

Directed by Dani Adaliz (EP.1,2,4,5) Lance Holloway (Ep.3)

USA | 30 min | 2023

After losing her job for insider trading, Adaliz moves in with her childhood bestie Chuchi, who teaches her how to be poor.

Set in the Bay area, buddy comedy Chuchi & Adaliz is a five episode, single-camera digital series that follows two childhood besties who, despite having a shared racial and ethnic identity as Afro Puerto Ricans, couldn’t be more different. When Adaliz loses her high-power corporate job in San Francisco is forced to move in with Chuchi, in Oakland. They're in for a rude awakening as they realize that what brought them together as kids isn't enough to keep them together as adults.
