SHORT SUMMARY

Long Island Lights is a half-hour comedic TV show about a group of misfits who come together to chase after celebrity in hopes of conquering Hollywood. They do so in the age of frenzied social media and viral videos where success seems one click away. They are dead set on making it big BUT they have no idea what they are doing. 

It's about family and giving crazy a chance (both often go hand-in-hand).

The show follows a ‘stuck in the system’ office worker, who after a quarter life crisis, has an embarrassing video (involving his balls) that goes viral and turns him into a reluctant internet star. He then returns to his family home in Long Island where he joins an amateur production company who believe they are bound for Hollywood, but in reality couldn’t be further from it.

We have an incredible cast and crew that's been working on this project for close to three years now. We have filmed a lot of promotional footage and even filmed about 40% of our pilot episode. But we need IndieGoGo and your help to finish the rest of our Pilot episode!


Living just below the shallow surface of social media is a strong undercurrent of relationships and familial bonds forged through the wild and often crazy schemes cooked up regularly by these misfits. Although they stumble every step of the way, the important part is that they are living life, together as friends and family.

On a weekly basis, Long Island Lights messes up the most routine productions. At one point, a commercial turns into a puppy mill operation while in the next episode a frustrated Rick creates his own gay film festival featuring his gay zombie apocalypse movie, ‘EAT’ only to place 8th at his own festival. The crew finds themselves pitching MTV ½ to MTV, an idea that all popular shows would be reenacted using midgets.

As the series develops we find that sometimes a little crazy can lead to unexpected success in the best of ways.

Risks & Challenges

You're a part of this now, and it's important to us to respect that by keeping the lines of communication open and honest along the way.Our greatest challenge is to achieve the highest quality of production possible even with the limited resources we have available for this project. To do justice to this story, we want to tell it in the most creative, innovative way possible. Producing a film is difficult, however, we have spent the last three years working on this project and we are determined to see it through to the end.
