The METROS Mission
With the support and funds raised by you METROS lovin' fools, we will be putting all those dolla bills to the creation of the Pilot Episode. We will then submit the Pilot to several TV & Film Festivals to gain relationships with producers and financial backing to fund the remaining five episodes for Season One of METROS.

Why Are We Crowdfunding?
Broad City, High Maintenance, Insecure, Workaholics, and Portlandia, to name a few, all have gotten their start independently. The TV & Film industry is ever changing and the many great things that have come about recently are the opportunities that artists can make for themselves. Now great television and film ideas are not solely up to the networks and gatekeepers to green light or pass on. Filmmakers and actors now have the ability to work hard and see their creative visions come to fruition.
The METROS team is very excited to take the independent journey and to take you along with us! With the independent route we have the creative control to let the story flourish without any such agenda or limitations. We, as the METROS team, are pumped to get to share our laughs and absurd New York moments with you!
