Hello and welcome to our go fund me!

This is Tom, the show's creator; continue reading on below as I give some info on the personality of We're Going Dumber as well as the reasons behind our fundraising efforts:

We’re Going Dumber is an animated sketch comedy tv show—something which is actually a rarity in our saturated media landscape. We find this uncommon path exciting and we hope you do too!

The sketches are very relatable in nature because they start from the type of situations in which you may find yourself in everyday; like clocking in, buying a hotdog or chatting up your crush — only then things start to snow ball and get progressively more and more absurd and before you know it you’re on to the next one.

It’s a show unconstrained by traditional narrative storytelling, and the result is a television experience unlike any other.

We're Going Dumber is an independent production, and thus far, has been buoyed by myself as well as the mutual confidence and dedication of 30+ artists many of whom have worked on spec or for less than their normal rates. We've recorded 20 sketches (a full season's worth), recorded original music, and have developed extensive concept material by hand. It's been and will continue to be a pursuit of persistence to bring our comedy show through to fruition.

Now that We're Going Dumber is ready to undergo the process of full animation, it is a necessity to have proper funds so our artists can be fairly compensated for bringing the show to life. The first step is a sizzle reel, which will give a ~40 second glimpse into how the show will look when fully animated. This requires extensive concept work, coloring and ultimately animation. Our art department, which includes two Emmy winners, has already begun work on the sizzle reel, and upon completion, the video will be the most effective property to date as relates to selling or licensing the show.

Any contributions you make will go directly to the artists who work on the show and will have a very real impact on the scale of production we can afford.

Our hope is to have the sizzle reel completed very soon and to begin work on animating the pilot shortly thereafter.

Thank you very much for your time and support!
