Overview
We have shot a short piece that needs your help to get to a pilot. We need more funds to pay for additional crew, equipment and location fees. This talented independent cast and crew needs your help. We have collected some of the best performers in the northeast. We have collected some of the best film craftspeople in the northeast. Please help us complete our mission of making a show that will break many boundaries and fill you with exhilaration and awe. Please help the arts.

Do you love the 90s? Yeah – so do I.

My name is Ryan Casey – I’m the writer and director of Gener’s People – a TV show pilot that is set in the 90’s.

I have spent my life writing fiction and bringing it to the screen.  Recently I took a hiatus from filmmaking and attained my Master’s in Communication from the University of Hartford.

This past year – while talking to cinematographer, David Sikora – I mentioned my idea for Gener’s People and didn’t think much of it – just a passing conversation.  The next day Dave was at my doorstep demanding to shoot this.  He thought it was the most original and powerful original story he had ever heard.

Since then – We have shot a short version (which you should watch on this page ...Right now!) and now we need your help to fund a full pilot episode.

Everyone – both cast and crew – worked and sweated hard for free for the shorter version.  I poured my own money into the short and paid for everything we needed.  But we all have rent to pay and need some more funds to pay for more crew, cast, and bigger locations.

Take a look at the short sample we did to see the quality we are bringing to the screen.

The story of Gener’s People is also something you will help bring to life.  It’s all set in the 90’s.  My favorite decade--it was an era of jeans, the birth and death of grunge, and going to Blockbuster on a Friday night. 

Gener's People is about a juice-bar and the struggles it takes to get off the ground.  It’s a time when WholeFoods, Trader Joe’s and Sprouts are just getting off the ground.  The word "organic" was thought to be a paper-folding method.  We’re going to cover and explore that cultural paradigm shift – in a fictional world!  And there’s major twist to our story – some people have started to overindulge in the juice.  But I can’t go into more detail than that.  Because yeah, it’s a spoiler.

This talented independent cast and crew of struggling artists could use your help. 

We have collected some of the best performers in the northeast – pouring over 1,000 applications to act in our project.  We have collected some of the best film production craftspeople in the northeast.  Please help them complete their mission of making a show that will break many boundaries and fill you with exhilaration and awe.

And check-out my personal track-record to lead this team – I have completed numerous shorts as well as a feature-length film (1 hr. 40 min,) called American Jubilee.  All have been completely finished and shown at film festivals.  Many projects don’t get past the shooting stage – but I get things done.  I’m a persistent Irish Jew. 

Yeah I just wrote that. 

Please help Gener’s People come alive to the screen by donating today.  And if you donate you will get a gift.  We will also give you the opportunity to be an extra during one day of our next shooting!

Be part of the magic here.
