Welcome to “NEWLYWED AND BROKE”, a chuckle-licious new Single-Camera Comedy Webseries!!
Newlywed and Broke will be a modern day “I Love Lucy”! Where “I Love Lucy” pulled back the curtain on a couple dealing with life in show business, “Newlywed and Broke” will pull the curtain back on a couple dealing with today’s trying times of job loss and financial hardships… in hilarious ways!
Each episode you’ll see a rib-tickling, laughter-inducing new way they struggle to make and save money!
Why did we choose to tell this story? It’s a familiar tale for all of us. Relationship or not, everyone can grow nostalgic over at least a few ridiculous things they did when they were broke (some of you are still involved in that sort of ridiculous activity).
We know we did! So instead of crying about it, we decided to create comedy!
So, what’s up?ARE YOU IN???
Our goal is to produce a TV quality webseries. After, we’ll throw it up on our website www.newlywedandbroke.com for all to enjoy!!
There's no end to the list of things we can help you do broke!!
And, hey, we want YOU to be a part of this! Have a story you wanna share with us? Or need a great broke-tip immediately? Tell it to us in the comments section and we'll help you out and it may end up in an epsiode!
Read the perks to see how we can produce one of your ideas for the show or how you can come on to co-host a “Broke-Tip Tuesday” video with us!
ARE YOU IN YET??
Ever notice the length of credits at the end of a movie? It takes a lot of people… and money to make just one minute of movie magic.
That said; we need to raise $25,000, the bare minimum to shoot and edit four 10 minute professional, TV ready episodes and 52 Youtube style videos. But why stop there??
If we raise $50,000 we can do 8 webisodes and 52 Youtube style ones. If we raise $100,000 we can do 10 webisodes and take Newlywed and Broke on the road and possibly film in your hometown! You and your friends can potentially co-host a Youtube style episode or audition to be in the webisode!
If you’re still asking yourself, “Where the H*ll is the money going?”, well, I started writing a list to break it on down! Here it is:
We’ve spent the last few months huddled in our creative cave working on the scripts and characters, but must now venture out of hibernation and into your hearts for support! In exchange for your pledge, we're offering spectactularly awesome perks like:
- Associate Producer credit,
- A skype therapy session,
- A chance to see your idea produced,
- An opportunity to co-host one of our “Broke-Tip Tuesday” videos,
- A Production Assistant job on our show (Coming in from out of town? Heck, we’ll even let your broke-butt crash on our couch!),
- tax-deductions…
… and much, much more!
I KNOW... YOU'RE DEFINITELY IN NOW!
Did someone say TAX DEDUCTIONS? Gee golly willikers, we sure did! Not only will you gain the satisfaction of taking part in a creative, funny, inspiring, gut-busting, world-changing project, but your pledge will also support a NON-PROFIT Organization that strives to promote the arts. Which equals… TAX DEDUCTION! *Clap, clap, clap.
Fractured Atlas empowers artists, arts organizations, and other cultural sector stakeholders by eliminating practical barriers to artistic expression, so as to foster a more agile and resilient cultural ecosystem.
A Great Organization Helping Artists Stay In Business.
*** Stay tuned as we will be shooting the series as early as October of this year to have it ready for the 2014 season! From the Newlywed and Broke team, we thank you in advance for all your support and can’t wait to make you laugh!
