Improving our Super Hero Web Series!

What the story behind this campaign?

People have seen Party Girl.

People enjoy Party Girl.

But...

That's what this campaign is about. Getting those "...buts..." people would say about the show, well, out of the show. Be it a sound issue, lighting issue, VFX issue, we want to smooth them all out and improve the quality of the show.

The Party Girl web series was created by me, Bj Lewis, and stars a character I have been writing off and on since I was 15. As I found myself getting more involved in the local filmmaking community and saw more web series, I thought it was the perfect avenue to tell the story of Party Girl. It's a story about family, relationships and figuring out who we want to be in life versus who and what other people think we should be. I'm sure we can all relate.

We have been working in earnest on the show since last year. The show is filmed in and around the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas and features some of the best up and coming talent from the area. The project began as a no-budget endeavor and as we grow and evolve we want to infuse some funds into the show to help make it look and sound better. I want the best we can get out of it for the people involved in this production both in front of and behind the camera. I owe them that for taking their time, energy and talent to help tell this story.

In case you're wondering about me, I have been a writer for all my life. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism from Louisiana Tech University and my 9 to 5 job is a journalist for the local newspaper covering county government and producing video content for the web site. It's not just a one day a week activity for me, through work or things outside of work, I am knee deep in writing and filming. I know what I am doing, what I need and how it can help.

Why I'm doing this in a nut shell...

• I want to improve the Party Girl Web series production value particularly regarding audio.

• I want to feed my cast/crew better on shoots and improve the costumes.

What Party Girl Needs

Breaking it down:

• This campaign is hoping to raise $4,000 at the least to put into the second season.

• Every cent raised will go toward shooting our twelve episode season.

The funds you donate will immediately help pay for the costs of:

• Feeding our cast and crew. The men and women on this project are willing to work on this no budget project and we want to better feed them on shoots.

• Post production audio!!! The biggest critique the show has had is the audio and we want to make it better.

• Costumes and make up. We’re upping the super hero numbers in season two and while in the first season some of the costume characters were cobbling together their material from things they found at home, the second season features more experienced heroes and we want to be able to put them in better costumes.

Anything beyond the goal will go into:

• More audio work!!!

• Post production and VFX costs.

All of our "Perks" are suggestions

• There are rewards for different levels of donating.

• But if you'd like to donate $5 or $10, please do so.

Now...

Not having money is a challenge. While we don't have absolutely nothing in our production bank, we don't have a lot and we believe we need more to make this production better for those people involved in it.

There is a risk in anything you do, and this we risk not finishing the season, not finishing the show, and having all the work and effort given go to waste.

But we have the drive and people on the project who believe in the story and who will work to get it done.

Other ways you can help:

• Share this project with another person who you think will like it. This is an important aspect of this campaign, trying to bring Party Girl to as many people as we can.
