Help Fun Our Short Film + Launch Our Production Company
We’re Natalie Fill and Katie Woodeshick — best friends, comedy partners, and co-creators behind Behave Comedy, a character-driven comedy duo you may know from our unhinged videos on Instagram, TikTok, and our web-series Behave on YouTube. Our goal as a comedy duo is to bring back the absurd, character-driven comedies we grew up on, but this time with our own twist. Some of our most loved characters include:
- Gerald & Nancy – a Constitution-loving bald principal and his spiky-haired Long Island wife (played by Natalie and Katie, respectively) — watch here
- Winnie & Evelyn– your favorite chaotic Southern aunts who wreak havoc at HomeGoods — watch here
Now, we’re officially leveling up.
What This Campaign is For:
We’re raising funds to:
- Produce our first professional short film, based on the world created in our web series Behave — to be submitted to major film festivals like SXSW and more.
- Legally launch our production company, Behave Productions LLC, which will house our growing body of work and future projects.
- Cover essential production and festival costs to make sure this short is festival-ready and professionally executed.
This short film will act as a proof of concept/demo for our TV pilot — also titled Behave — and help us transition from self-produced sketch comedy to an industry-official comedic duo.
Where Your Donation Goes:
Your support will help fund:
- Camera + gear rentals
- Costumes, props, prosthetics, wigs, and makeup
- Post-production (editing, sound, color correction)
- Meals for our small but mighty crew
- Film festival submission fees
- LLC formation + business banking set-up fees
- Website + branding assets
- Contingency for any surprise production costs
Any additional funds will go toward growing Behave Productions — including future shorts/projects, travel for festival screenings, and even hiring extra help for post-production if possible.
Our Goal
We aim to raise all funds by August 31st, 2025, to fully support our summer shoot and the fall festival submission season.
What is Our TV Show Behave About?
Behave follows two 24-year-old best friends — who first met at a purity conference at the Great Wolf Lodge when they were 9 — as they navigate adulthood through misguided but confident tactics in Austin, Texas. Their chosen family includes Katie’s boss, Principal Gerald Kelley (played by Natalie in a bald cap), and his chain-smoking Long Island wife Nancy (played by Katie, naturally).
Why It Matters
We’ve self-funded everything we’ve made so far — filming entire web-series episodes with one ring light, one camera, and six wigs. But this short marks a turning point for us. It’s the start of something real and official.
With your help, we’ll go from a scrappy, fan-loved duo to a fully formed production company with a distinct comedic character-comedy driven voice and a short film we’re proud to submit to the world.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey — whether you’re a fan from our social media, a proud parent, or a stranger who believes in us chasing our dreams — we appreciate each and everyone one of you.
Let’s (mis)behave together.
With love,
Natalie Fill & Katie Woodeshick
