Who is Curls?

Curls Productions is Melissa McNamara and Chris Bashen.  Chris and Melissa have trained in comedy and theatre at a variety of places and met performing sketch comedy.  They wrote season 1 of The Studio last year, which was partially based on real life antics.  They had a lot of free time...

What is The Studio?

The Studio is a comedy web series about a small Pilates studio in the city of Chicago and its owner, Alyssa. Season 1 was entirely self-funded and can currently be viewed at www.thestudiowebseries.com.  Pre-production is over for Season 2, and shooting will soon commence.   Our goals have expanded, however and our funds need a little help.

Costs:

We are aiming for $3000, but more is certainly helpful.  All funds will go towards:

  • Additional cameras and support equipment.
  • Enhanced mics
  • Editing Costs
  • Music Composition Costs
  • Post Production Costs (Premiere party, festival submissions, etc..)
  • Crew Cost
  • Talent Compensation
  • The Wine & Mountain Dew Budget (crew really loves Mountain Dew!)

The Goal

We have over 12 episodes planned for this season, with more locations, more talent, and lots of Pilates breath.  The Studio has been a joy to work on, and a great showcase for the more underrepresented parts of Chicago and Chicago talent.  

We are greatful for any donations you can make. And if you can't, please share our project on the social media avenue of your choice!  

Thank you for your time!

~Curls Productions (Chris & Melissa)
