Hi There, I'm Devin Mills, Writer/Creator/Lead Actor in the romantic musical comedy web series, "DATING IN THE MIDDLE AGES."
Welcome to operation, "KEEP THE SHOW ALIVE!" We've already shot four episodes and are looking for funding for the next season of 10-12 episodes.
Our romantic-comedy web series follows Samantha Collins, a blocked historical romance writer, newly divorced and back on the dating scene after her fifteen year marriage ends, as she looks for her modern-day Cary Grant. And boy have times changed! "Sam" knows nothing about blind dating, match makers and online courting, but she's about to find out. (and not in a good way!)
From medieval courting disasters to original musical comedy numbers weaved into the story come along as Samantha tries to navigate the murky waters of dating in the middle ages.
John Schneider (Smallville, Dukes of Hazzard) plays Samantha's ruggedly handsome love interest, Jake Hagerty, Jake is a photo journalist, musician, and poet. Unfortunately he's called out of town on assignments constantly, traveling in and out of Sam's life. So until they become "an item" Samantha is dating, dating, dating.
We are honored that our show has been compared to
Sex In The City and Glee and some say there's a little Ally McBeal thrown in as well. You can view the current episodes on our website address at

This series is fun with a lot of heart. In the next season we'll follow Samantha as she dates cad after cad, from the bird obsessed UPS guy, to a X-Chippindale's dancer who still thinks he's got it, to the "texter" who is spoken word challenged, to the guy that repeats everything Sam says, and more...and she'll be dealing with her aging issues, her promiscuous mother who dates everyone she can lay her hands on in the retirement community, and we'll meet Samantha's painfully shy daughter who is addicted to online gaming.
DITMA will put a smile on your face and laughter is the main ingredient here.
Now for the good stuff. We Need...
$40,000 but we'll settle for $25,000, and take whatever we can get. The budget includes everything from paying for crew, talent, locations, permits, set design, props, and catering, to equipment rental and whatever comes up. Even if we don't raise the whole amount we will shoot however many episodes we can afford. We have already raised some funding through donations on the website and private parties, and are going to corporate sponsors, but...
