Overview
METROS is a series about comedic absurd moments that we as the creators have gone through or experience living in this great city of New York. This campaign is so meaningful in order for us to share all of our wacky situations and stories. It is most definitely a project that is close to home for all of us on the METROS team and is a slice of our lives that we want to share with you all!

Short Summary 

Jai the cumin, Leo the salt, and Q the pepper pack up their bags and say goodbye to          North Carolina to add to the cultural melting pot that is New York City!  METROS is a Comedy Series that follows our three main characters as they take on all of the absurdities and craziness that comes with this circus of a city, discovering new things about themselves. They are shaped by the creatures who inhabit the concrete jungle through the lens of the millennial metrosexual!

Meet the Metrosexuals!

Jarred Harper (Role of Leo)- Producer, Director, Writer, Actor                                                                                                                                  

Jarred is an actor, writer, and director. Born and raised in Atlanta Georgia and after graduating from The University of Georgia four years ago he moved to New York City to enroll in The William Esper Studio, a two year acting conservatory program. After graduating from acting school Jarred has starred in two Off-Broadway Theater productions in 2018, short films, and web-series. He has now set his sights on creating METROS and is excited to bring the joy and laughter to the audience as much as it has brought him and his METROS team to create!

Sarang Sharma (Role of Jai)- Producer, Co-Writer, Actor                                                                                                                                    

Sarang, also a graduate of The William Esper Studio, is a first generation Indian-American actor, writer, director, and stand-up comedian based in New York City. He enjoys writing plays and short stories as well and is currently working as a lyricist for upcoming rappers and singers in NYC and Atlanta. Sarang is thrilled to be a representative of the budding new talent of first generation American artists and looks forward to collaborating with artists of all backgrounds to promote the new "American Dream".

Quentin Lee Moore (Role of Q)- Actor

Quentin attended Atlantic Acting School’s Evening Conservatory and made his NYC stage debut in the production of Do You Roll Over in the Night at the Linda Gross theater at the completion of his training. He has since appeared in the original short play Woman Illusion (Theater for the New City) and Stepping Through Blood (New Perspectives Theater). He is currently deepening his Atlantic roots through training as a voice coach under Katie Bull and teaching in the high school program, Staging Success. Quentin graduated from the University of South Carolina where he majored in biology/pre-med and minored in psychology where he also earned several All-American honors as a standout track and field athlete. He is a NYC transplant from Chesapeake, VA. He is exceedingly grateful to be a part of the Atlantic Theater team.

Will Kaufman- Cinematographer 

Will is an award winning filmmaker, editor, cinematographer and photographer.  He began his professional career in 2004 working on Emmy Award-winning shows for Red Line Studios, in 2009 he began shooting/producing at MTV Networks, most notably for the Emmy Award Winning Series MADE.  Will’s formidable knowledge and skills developed during his field and studio work for Discovery, ESPN, CMT, CBS, and CNBC. 

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!
