Short Summary

Set in a family-style Greek Restaurant in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, INBETWEEN is a comedy in the style of “the Office” meet "Entourage", which takes an intimate look at the lives of NY transplant - talented but naive actor/waiter Dean, his dog-loving sardonic and mildly sociopathic Brooklynite co-worker Tom, the suave opportunistic Greek soap star Nikos, the self effacing sheltered Texan beauty Kate Kostas  and their bigger-than-life and ever so slightly prejudiced Greek Matriarch boss Doris.

Why INBETWEEN? ...and why is it different?

All of us have lived in the INBETWEEN - the place where we are at the moment and the place where we would rather be.

The job you so much hate and want to quit, and the dream career that would fulfill your childhood fantasies.

The relationship that you find boring and the and the promising new acquaintance at work who understands the real you.

You get it. You have been there. All of us have. The question is... How long will you stay in the INBETWEEN? Or to put it differently what would it take to make you take the leap of faith?

 

                                             As the creator I Believe:

That there is a chance for the expression of independent vision and opinion. The old ways of fierce competition for a spot on today's much 'scrutinized' TV have branched out and have given us a chance onto the independent, free-thinking internet platform(let's safeguard that). Where the best story with the best acting has the chance to survive and endure. I think that all creators of content should be given a chance to compete on the same level as TV networks. I rarely watch TV - I have no interest in the 'cookie-cutter' ratings obsessed shows that are thrown at us every year.

I believe in change! Join me if you do too.


 

Who are we?

emmanuelneiljakebillyhenryjosh

Let me introduce us to you:


Emmanuel Todorov(me): Executive Producer, Creator, Writer, Lead


Neil Chartier: Producer

Jake Hughes: Producer

Billy Hayes: Director

Henry Beylin: Writer, Actor


Josh Harrison: Director of Photography

Henry , Billy and I are 3 classmates from Stella Adler in NYC. We went to school together and lived the crazy NY life. It so happened that we ended up settling in Los Angeles years later.

The idea for the show came to me several years ago while Henry and I were working in restaurants while supporting our acting careers. The break-neck speed and advancement in technology of late ( being able to shoot HD footage on a DSLR) made it possible to dream big and turn my ideas into this show.

Compounded with Henry's talent as a story teller and Billy's detail oriented eye and directorial affinity the show became a reality and these here final touches are your chance to help us finalize the dream into the 7 episode first season of INBETWEEN.

 

 

Why should you donate?

Almost all the footage has been shot. We have the complete 7 episodes. It is very fun and dynamic, with a great production value. We have numerous locations and  we have been blessed to have had as a set decorator Michelle van der Heijden from: www.m-u-s-h.com

Get the Peeping Tom option on the right and enjoy the PILOT episode and judge for yourself. We promise we won't disappoint.

We have a very strong story, fantastic cast with a good number of recognizable actors: Norma Maldonado, Lisa Arturo, David Gianoppolous, Peter Nikkos, David Dayan Fisher, Pasha Lychnikoff, Brian Scolaro, Cooper Harris etc.

We are blessed to have Nick Pourpourakis on our team.

He is a little legend in the Greek community. His music (some of it hits from the 50's and 60's) are playing throughout the First Season. He's an incredible performer, and has agreed to score the second Season !

For more on Nick and his music, follow this link: http://dakismusic.blogspot.com/

Another noteworthy musician on our team is Jaime Gehly aka - CRISPY ALBINO Who wrote the TILTLE TRACK, many of the transition compositions and the unforgettable Greek-Remix you hear playing under the trailer.

Also Josh Harrison who was the Director of Photography on the project brought the series to a TV standard level. Quick bio for him includes, SAW, SPACE COWBOYS, SUPERBAD and TV shows like COUGARTOWN, MORTAL COMBAT, JUSTICE  to name a few.

All episodes are based on real life events happened to us, our friends, or people we have known. Life at It’s best.

Also for season 2 we would like to have a contest and create the story line from viewer’s suggestions and stores perhaps... help us get there !

 

 

What We Need & What You Get

Season 1 is filmed!!!  Our goal here: $8000 - here's why...

 

* Editing each episode costs roughly $700 - (6*700 and that's a steal )  $4200

Every 10 minutes consist of about 170-200, 3-4 second cuts, we have a patchwork of fast cuts and the total length of footage per episode is about 4 hrs. out of which we come up with action packed 10 minutes.

* We need roughly $3200 for sound design.

That does not include our time of taping sounds for the sound design and taping additional ADR to replace poor quality dialogue...

* Special Effects and color-timing $1100 (hopefully...)

If you have selected an option to watch the PILOT, you will see the insert with the Porn-Star. That insert and some additional graphic design costs money to add. Any spare amount of money raised will go for improving the quality of the show. E.g. color-timing, score additional improvement of the visual effects.

Please bear in mind that every small change we make costs money.

* IndieGoGo Fee

They charge us 4-9% to use their service (about $750 if this campaign is successful)

* Festival Fees (between $25 - $120 per festival)

Festivals are the main outlet for a low-budget project. Being selected to screen at Big festivals means a better opportunity for the series to land a representative who can bring it to the next level- e.g. TV network, bigger investors etc., which is the only way for such show to continue with a second season.
