Opening sequence for 10-part dark and witty drama series – "TWIST" – with a primary target audience of 18–50 year old adults. A tale of deception, self-deception, duplicity + double standards, and morality clashing with immorality. ​​​​​​​

Synopsis
The backdrop is 1930s' New York. Protagonist – Pavel LeVap – is a trickster and illusionist, an American of French / Russian descent.

As he descends into serious crime he simultaneously ascends to fame in the theatres of 1930s' New York, drawing ever bigger audiences.​​​​​​​ True to its name, there are many plot twists - nothing is quite what it seems...
