Post University, Harrison continued broadening his ability to tell stories in unique ways. He formed a production house alongside several peers and directed episodes in the Sexual Health comedy series "Undergarment Odysseys".
That same production house would continue to produce more short films under the name Crispy Yoghurt, where Harrison and his team would create absurdist, comedic and perhaps slightly disturbing shorts that always challenged viewers' expectations.
