High Tech
High Tech is a unique comedy which revolves around a group of three media technicians working at Anglia Ruskin University. It gives a glimpse into the problems that these individuals come across, featuring students and lectures from the university who are looking for an 'all knowing' answer to their issues. It is hard not to laugh when the solution is to press the 'ON' button!
High Tech is the idea of two Film & TV Production students, Abigail Crowther and Marta Boska and the Students' Union wants to support their effort to create a student led sitcom which will become part of ARU students life. The Students' Union will help co-ordinate and promote 'High Tech' and we will also host the sitcom on the Students' Union website. Abigail and Marta are currently looking for students and staff members who want to get ivolved in order to put together the 'High Tech' team.

They are all around their twenties and each one of them has a unique colourful or not so colourful personality.
