I'm making a stand-up comedy special intended to transform, heal, inspire, and enlighten, as well as bring joy, light, and much laughter to the world! Thank you for helping me accomplish this awesome goal!
Short Summary
Hi! I'm Melinda Hill, a comedian you may have seen on the shows Lady Dynamite, Adventure Time & more. Now I’m making a comedy special & I'd love for you to be involved! According to 2017 statistics: "Overall, women accounted for only 16% of all directors, writers, executive producers, producers, editors, and cinematographers working in entertainment. Broken down per category, women comprised of only 8% percent of directors, 10% of writers, 15% of executive producers, 24% of producers, 14% of editors, and a mere 2% of cinematographers." I want to help change these statistics by writing, producing, and starring in my own stand-up special of material that will be cross-purposed into upcoming projects such as my new series. Invest in my campaign and I vow to make a great comedy special that will inspire, empower, and enlighten the human race through sharing my story. If you’d like to see my work please click this link to watch Romantic Encounters with Melinda Hill (this is the one minute sizzle reel where you can click "watch entire series" to see the whole thing): https://youtu.be/6G1gxbmk5HQ I crowdfunded the series in 2012, and co-produced, wrote and starred in it. It won many awards including “best comedic series” and it was acquired for both domestic and international distribution. Thank you for your support, it means everything to me.
What We Need & What You Get
- I need $ for things like pre-pro, the shoot, locations, editing, food, guest stars and marketing.
- I'm offering exciting perks from T-shirts & tickets to my show to learning how to do stand-up with me and an opportunity to produce this project along with me.
- I guarantee I will make the best special possible to honor your investment.
The Impact
- This project is really needed in the world because these are dark times. My intention is to provide joy, light and laughter.
- You can trust me with your investment because the last time people invested in my crowdfunding project, I delivered. I made a nine-episode webseries which we screened, it won awards like "best comedy series" and "best actor," and was acquired for distribution both domestically and internationally. It has now enjoyed millions of views on multiple platforms and you can read all of its press here: http://www.melindahill.com/videos/
- I will deliver on this, you can trust me.
Risks & Challenges
- My proof of concept is the webseries I've already created, produced, written and starred on.
- That series was based on my stand-up. My intention is to develop this special which will be cross-purposed as material for my new series.
- My plan is to release at least 3 videos a week on my Instagram for the next 2 months and to make this special in 2018.
