Help Thomas Fund His First Web Series

Hello! My name is Thomas and I am crowdfunding my first web series, Unusual Company.

A little background on me is that I have been an actor for the last 6 years. I came all the way from upstate NY to pursue my career in acting. When I am not busy being an actor I am busy working as a registered nurse here in LA.

I wrote this webseries nearly 2 years ago drawing on funny improv sketches that my friend and assistant director Mikkel Simons and I would perform in our apartment. This is my first time producing so this project means a lot to me!

Now let's meet the talented cast!

Paul Galliano : Jonathan

Originally from Birmingham, Alabama. Paul Galliano is an actor and writer, known for Ryan's Mystery Playdate (2019), Now What?! (2016) and The Young and the Restless (1973).

The character Jonathan is a kind empathetic husband to his wife Debra. He loves his wife so much but sometimes is afraid of her when she is upset with him. He likes his remote IT job and can be found taking long romantic walks in the valley.

Mikkel Simons: Debra

Originally from Vacaville, California. Mikkel Simons holds a BA Degree in Drama and is a conservatory graduate of Second City. Mikkel is an actress, writer, performs improv sketch, and is a stand up comedian. Additionally she is an assistant director and associate producer on Unusual Company.

The character Debra is an eccentric spirited young wife to Jonathan. Debra is a go getter as evidenced by her nursing job and her dominatrix side job. When she isn't healing the sick or spanking the naughty she enjoys practicing her spirituality. Debra sometimes gets lost in the clouds but Jonathan is always there to ground her when she needs it.

Oh look its me!

Thomas Ross: Katerina, Man, Demon, Madame Zansabar, Theodora

Originally from Frankfort, New York. Thomas is an actor, writer, director, producer and sometimes video editor. Thomas is producing his first web series, Unusual Company. Thomas firmly believes you would enjoy donating to this production.

Katerina: A saucy little minx looking for a good time with Jonathan and Debra.

Man: A regular paying customer of Debra's dominatrix services.

Demon: Serving us some demonic realness. Currently haunting Jonathan and Debra's home.

Madame Zansabar: Psychic to the stars! The madame is hired to help Jonathan and Debra with their demon.

Theodora: Jonathans lively but elderly mother. She enjoys destroying Debra's happiness and winning the affections of her son.

Why am I asking for donations?

The reason I am crowdfunding is because I need some financial assistance producing this web series. I will need money to help pay:

• my crew and actors
• insurance
• permits
• props
• set design
• food and drinks
• wardrobe
• post production
• and any other expenses that crop up.

As you can imagine it's expensive living in LA as a creator which is why I am looking for generous donors like you to help me!

If you love indie film productions and love comedies you should seriously considering donating! You will be helping young artists in LA produce a fun and hilarious web series that you can view for FREE! That's right, I am sharing this web series for free to the public after post production.

The webseries will be filmed the end of October 2021. I am looking to have at least half the production financed by then. I will keep the go fund me page up and available for people to donate so that I can continue to reach my financial goal of having the entire production funded by generous donors.
