The project has yet to apply for a Pennsylvania film tax credit, which normally is required for a project this size.
The show is about a veteran neurologist and the doctor's protégé, who has mirror-touch synesthesia, a neurological trait that causes the protégé to experience other people's sensations.
The series is inspired by the life story of Dr. Joel Salinas.
