MONEY MOUTH is a web series focusing on three friends who find themselves mixed up with a peculiar quiz show host. I know what you’re thinking… Aren’t all quiz show hosts peculiar? Like, isn’t that a prequisite ? Is your web series essentially some guys in their 20s meeting Andrew O’Keefe and thinking he’s awful? Well kind of, but it’s also SO much more.
MONEY MOUTH will commence as a three part series with a view to make more episodes further down the track.
A significant portion of this series is set on the set of a quiz show and unfortunately, you can’t just hire the set of a quiz show, you have to BUILD IT so your pledge is going towards finding the brawn necessary to do this. In addition to the construction work, the funds will be also be used to contribute towards the practical stuff- like camera and sound equipment hire and the use of an editing suite when filming is complete. The actors aren’t getting paid for their work in this series so might try to throw them a Subway sandwich now and then to avoid any hunger related quarrelling.
Creating film and television has always been a dream of mine so while I do have the passion, I don’t have the experience. I am fairly certain I’ll be responsible for at least a few inexperience related mishaps; filming a complex scene without turning the camera on, accidentally tripping over the sound guy when he is one day away from retirement, choosing the wrong font for the advertising material but with that- I know that I’m going to learn a massive amount and be able to use this knowledge for future projects or when Hollywood comes a-knockin’.
In a nutshell- your pledge is going to help me do what I’ve always dreamt about doing but have been too scared to attempt (until now!). THANK YOU for your interest in this project.
