It&#8217;s a brilliant mix of offbeat observations and weirdly funny revelations built around three unconventional hosts, some well-known rappers, and exotic locations. It&#8217;s quirky, irreverent, and at times, profound.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elara Pictures quote: &#8220;Tuning into an episode of Alec, Dap and Lakutis&#8217; Internet radio show was like hanging out with rappers and Howard Stern if he was on K. It was so easy and yet so deep. When Alec approached us to create a TV show with the vibe of their radio show, it only made sense to put them and their guests in the middle of nowhere and ask Steven Wright to be the voice of God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Credits: CHILLIN ISLAND is executive produced by Alec Reinstein, Sebastian Bear-McClard, Josh Safdie, Oscar Boyson, Adel &#8216;Future the Prince&#8217; Nur, Jason Shrier, Anthony Gonzales, and co-executive produced by Dave Laven and Matte Babel. It is also executive produced by Dawn Ostroff, Courtney William Holt, and Liz Gateley for Spotify. The director of photography is Christopher Messina with original music by E.VAX.
