Newlywed and Broke's Comedy Series Surpasses One Third of Required Funding for Crowdfunding Campaign
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- The “Newlywed and Broke” crowdfunding campaign has surpassed one third of the $25,000 goal, necessary to see that the series goes into production. Billed as a modern day “I Love Lucy”, the web series will use comedy to feature a couple dealing with today’s trying times of job loss and financial hardships. Each episode will feature a new way the couple struggles to make and save money.
The goal of the company’s Indiegogo campaign is to produce a TV quality web series that will first air on the Newlywed and Broke website. Once there is an established market for the show, the series will be pitched to networks like ABC, FOX, HBO etc.
"It’s a familiar tale for all of us. Relationship or not, everyone can grow nostalgic over at least a few ridiculous things they did when they were broke," stated Reko Moreno, (series co-creator) who plays Stan Miguelles in the series.
Moreno’s “Newlywed” partner, Mia Miguelles, will be played by actress, writer, director, producer and co-creator Kathryn Castaneda.
In addition to the series, the show’s website will feature 52 Youtube style videos called, “Broke Tip Tuesdays.” Each week, these videos will provide viewers great money-saving tips by covering subjects such as “Broke Dating,” “Broke Cooking,” “Broke Travel” and many more.
The crowdfunding campaign is currently offering project supporters the opportunity to share their stories and broke tips, some of which will end up in future episodes.
The Newlywed and Broke crowdfunding project is the first time that crowdfunding campaign promoter, Philip Cardwell and crowdfunding campaign manager, John-Michael Scott collaborated in support of a crowdfunding film project.
"I am thrilled to see this level of funding success in such a short period of time. I believe that people are beginning to realize that they can make a difference in what type of content makes it onto the airways, by supporting crowdfunding film projects. While the crowdfunding campaign is quickly headed towards achieving half of the needed funds, I encourage people to continue pledging, so that this hilarious comedy can become a reality," stated Philip Cardwell, Founder of Universal Media Consultants.
Others involved with the show are; Dan Sutton - one of The Leads of the new NBC show, “Siberia” and Blair Dickens, the Producer of the up coming web series "Henchmen."
The project is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization and contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
