Overcompensating

Benny is so deep in the closet, he’s found Narnia. And rather than using his freshman year of college as a chance to find himself, he’s maintaining the illusion of heterosexuality by throwing himself into a campus life of partying, drinking, and chasing girls. The consequences, for Benny and his new best friend Carmen (Wally Beram), will be severe … but hilarious. Created by comedian Benito Skinner, who also stars as Benny, Overcompensating is a foul-mouthed and ferociously funny college comedy that’s almost painfully authentic in its depiction of the fine line between self-exploration and weapons-grade cringe.
