This month, student-made mockumentary series Admitted won the Houston Comedy Film Festival award for Best Comedy Series Episode. Alongside fellow Boston University students, Wheeler alum Chantel Kardous '21 wrote the show's first season, which consisted of five episodes. Over Summer 2022, she participated in biweekly Writer's Rooms during which writers did episodic table reads and exchanged feedback on scenes. During filming and post-production, Chantel also served as Head of Marketing and Associate Producer for the show. The first season of Admitted is available on here on YouTube.
