ABOUT the SHOW
Easy Abby is an award-winning dramedy series about a lesbian who is not afraid of her own mojo. Abby has no problem getting a variety of interesting women into bed, but she has never really been in love. With new cast on board for Season 2, including Guinevere Turner (The L Word) and Dalila Ali Rajah (Dyke Central), we'll shed some light on Abby's commitment issues. We'll meet Abby's Mom, who suffers from manic depression, and as more new lovers cross her path, Abby will have to decide what it is she really wants for her future.
Season 1 of Easy Abby made quite an impact, with over 30 million views worldwide and translations in 12 languages, and it won the Audience Award from the North Carolina LGBT Film Festival. AfterEllen.com describes Easy Abby as “a funny, honest and original look at life in the dating world of a 30-something lesbian.”
With a comedic style similar to "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," and "Louie", Season 1 introduced us to Abby's few friends and many lovers, including the gorgeous Danielle (Mouzam Makkar) who threatened to steal Abby's crusty heart. Season 2 will follow Abby as she deals with depression, her troubled mother, and ongoing money problems!
Wendy Jo Carlton is the writer and director of Easy Abby. She also directed the award-winning feature films Hannah Free, and Jamie & Jessie are Not Together.

GOAL
This campaign is to help us finish shooting the remaining 8 episodes of Season 2. Our goal is to raise $10,000 in 30 days. These funds will be used for paying stipends to the awesome SAG union Cast, the small dedicated Crew, lunch and coffee for the team and some quality chapstick.
Season 2 will have a total of twelve, 8 minute episodes to enjoy. We have already shot and edited four episodes. Easy Abby is free on Youtube, so folks can watch it all over the world, including the UK, Germany, Turkey, Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Morocco and Indonesia. THANK YOU for watching!

We're offering women-driven entertainment that doesn't have to answer to mainstream TV gate keepers. Complex characters, awkward emotional moments, and dealing with depression (in an honest comedic way) are also part of what Easy Abby is about and what makes this series so engaging.
