About Us
What started as a casual smoke between neighbors turned into years of collaboration, creativity, and the birth of our animated series. Inspired by our own mid-twenties chaos, Recreational is a comedy-fantasy cartoon about friendship, weed, and the weird magic of young adulthood.
It’s for anyone who’s ever felt lost and found comfort in community, laughter, or a late-night smoke sesh.
