Hey y'all!
So before I ask you to donate to my [really great] project, I'll introduce myself.
My name is Suzanna Toole and I moved to Los Angeles from Georgia about a year ago in order to pursue acting. I gave up a full time job with stable income, family nearby, friends I'd had forever, and moved out here with little to no acting training in order to make this dream a reality. Scary, but apparently I'm one of thousands that move here for this same reason every month. [Cue 'but I'M DIFFERENT' rant.]
Let me tell you a little about this project and then I'll get back to my story. The irony of my time out here is that I've found that it's really hard to get acting jobs, but really easy to get jobs babysitting child actors. That's what this three part web series is about. The hilarious (and exaggerated, of course) scenarios that I've found myself in during my time out here.
And now, why I need your money. Well, as I told you before, I'm a babysitter. Which means I'm broke. I would like to do this project well. Since I did move here for this, I don't want to half-ass it. I also want to make all my friends look really good. They are the ones starring in this mini web series with me and I love them dearly. To do this project well, I need to hire a legitimate crew, which includes a director, a videographer, a sound guy, a PA, and an editor. I would also need money to feed the cast and crew on the days we're on set. No starving actors here.
Here's exactly how your money will be spent:
Director/Videographer: $375
Sound Guy: Roughly $100
Production Assistant: $50
Editor: Roughly $100
Props: Roughly $50
Food for three days of shooting: Roughly $75 a day to feed cast and crew
Location: $50
Miscellaneous/Transportation: $50
If you can spare even a dollar, that would help. If you can't spare a dollar, please share this with your friends and family (preferably the rich ones.) I promise your contribution will be worth it and you will be rewarded with a lot of laughter.
