Al Munteanu Launches BriskPace Unlimited Label With Orangutan True-Crime Comedy Series Showrun By ‘Cunk On Earth’ Writer

BriskPace Studios has launched BriskPace Unlimited, a label for new formats, with an AI-made true-crime comedy about an orangutan as its first original series. The project signals the company’s interest in AI-native productions and formats designed for both buyers and direct audiences.

Created by Al Munteanu, *The Light and Hard Times of Lucky Briscoe* follows an orangutan who rises from Communist Romania to fame and political influence before landing in federal prison. The pilot is complete and uses AI-generated images and music under human creative direction; Jason Hazeley, a writer on *Cunk on Earth*, is showrunner, with Joe Markham writing. Munteanu and AiMation founder Tom Paton co-direct, and BriskPace Unlimited also has investments in micro-drama ventures Sweetz and Snips.
