Bunz, the bartering app, can lead people into interesting situations with unexpected characters, and the brand is looking to poke some fun at those encounters with a new branded series called 'Fare Trade'. The show features three Millennial roommates who renounce money, leading them to Bunz and the wacky characters thereon.
Fare Trade's main characters, Cleo, Vic, and Janet, discover Bunz in the first episode after getting robbed in their apartment. This sends them into a spiral of deal-making and bartering all across Toronto. They encounter high jinks running the gamut, from Jewish community theater to silver-painted cowboys to love-making zombies.
The branded series is streaming on the Bunz website as well as through the famous Facebook page that was the genesis of the Bunz community altogether.
