For Evan's Sake, was created by Evan V. Washington and Ryan James Hull, childhood friends who have been working in the entertainment industry since they met. Together with a creative writing ensemble and director of For Evan's Sake, Kirstin Lorin, they cast and produced their first film project for Smart Not Hard Productions. With the help of Paul Stewart (Hustle & Flow, Insecure, Poetic Justice) they teamed up to bring the world the pilot episode of the new 2018 comedy "For Evan's Sake" starring Evan Vincent Washington as Evan Jefferson, an underachieving, overworked Production Assistant who struggles to maintain his sanity while dealing with his racially insensitive coworkers, inappropriate family members, "Woke" roommates, an inter-dimensional traveling homeless man, a wise satyr, and his own worst enemy, himself.
