Summary
My name is John "Oz" Layne.
I'm no Chef but I am known for Educating people about Health through Food and so much more. I LOVE seeing people get healthy while enjoying the Foods they love.
This Show is important to me because I know that you can be healed through food and that there are a very large number of Urban Chefs, Restaurants, and Farms that help people to do that. The Chefs and Owners of these establishments usually do not receive the attention and recognition of the Food Community as a whole.
Your Contribution will help those who LOVE to watch Food Shows but don't receive the knowledge they need to become healthy beings, get, through entertainment, the education so badly needed.
What We Need & What You Get
To shoot this show, we need $6,400. The funds are to pay for a Video Transmitter which is used for the Director to see the shots as they occur. That costs approximately $1200.00. We also need to cover the cost of travel (Local) for the crew. This is for Fuel. We also have to feed the Crew. Everyone has Volunteered for this project due to its' impact potential and I personally cannot allow them to put in so much work without pay AND Food.
We Appreciate your support immensely! We want to Thank You by offering the following:
- Support of $50 - $100 will receive their name in the credits of the show and a Listing on our Website as a Supporter.
- Support of $101 - $500 will receive the above PLUS the opportunity to be on an Episode as a Featured Patron (restaurant or farm of their choosing from our list of Featured Guests).
- Support of $501 - $1000 will get both of the above but with the choice of 2 Episodes AND a Great Urban Eats™ T-Shirt.
- Support of $1000+ will receive all of the above PLUS a Guest Co-Host Spot on an Episode. If we do not reach our goal, the received funds will be distributed as such; 1st - Towards the Transmitter we need to shoot the show. 2nd - Towards Feeding the Crew. And 3rd - Towards travel expenses for the Crew.
The Impact
As we've stated previously, this show is a Game Changer! So many people will finally have an outlet that not only Entertains them but also Educates them on the importance and relativity of Food in their lives. From this, they will be able to make healthy decisions on Food choices while celebrating the Amazing People who bring it to them.
I'm sure you, somewhere along your life's journey, have watched the various Food Shows and said something like "that's a heart attack on a bun" or "Looks good! I want that!!". this show will serve to satisfy those needs while saying, "Here is an alternative to what you just saw if you have, for example, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Food Allergies, etc.".
Risks & Challenges
The only potential hurdles that we foresee with this project is getting a major distributor to buy in. However, due to our Team of Producers and Executive Producers, we actually have the contacts within who are connected to these Majors and therefore, have a much higher rate of success potential than the average Producer of a Television Project.
We will utilize these connections (some of who have already been securely briefed) to our advantage. In fact, all that we need to do is shoot it and present it. We strongly believe we have a greater than 80% chance of being green lighted.
Other Ways You Can Help
So Friends, we know that Everyone cannot help Financially. We get it.
Therefore, we humbly ask, if you cannot make a financial contribution, do us a HUGE Favor, share this with someone. Heck, share it with EVERYONE! Your Friends, Family, Social Media, etc. IndieGoGo has SHARE Tools that you can use. You will find them on this page.
We Thank You for considering us. We look forward to possibly meeting and Featuring You!
Thank you,
The Great Urban Eats™ Team
