Multiple award winning director, Ty Leisher, in association with acclaimed production company, Bam!PRODUCED. turns to crowdfunding website IndieGogo to finance a new web series called Spin.
The script, written by writing team Jeff Graham and Laura Palmer, is a fast-paced, flashback comedy centering on a young star and his entourage who mistakenly find themselves thrown in jail. To leverage their way out of incarceration, they must first work together to recollect how they got there in the first place.
On co-writing the series with Palmer, Graham offers, “I’ve never met a writer with whom I have better creative chemistry. Laura’s improvisational background and intern experience at Saturday Night Live have made her well versed in the art of comedy. My writing experience is almost exclusively in feature length projects, so I tend towards developing structure and narrative. This balance made for a stellar writing experience and an even better script.”
The series is already cast and will feature six break-through principal actors from Hollywood’s highly regarded Scott Sedita Acting Studio. Other actors associated with this studio include Emma Roberts, Kellan Lutz, and Brandon Routh. The series will be produced as a partnership between Bam!PRODUCED. and Man of Silver Productions. Award winning producer Lex Edelman has signed on to the project alongside Zach Silverman.
In today’s media climate, crowdfunding is quickly evolving as an effective financing tool for creative projects. Remarkably, crowdfunding is a valuable resource for both small and large media projects; studios were shocked when crowdfunding campaigns recently funded Zach Braff’s indie film Wish I Was Here, and a Veronica Mars film reboot by raising millions of dollars.
As is typical with other crowdfunded projects, donors to Spin will receives perks based on their contribution level. Projected perks include digital downloads, signed merchandise, and associate producer credits for high-level donors. On this dynamic, Leisher offers, “our project gets funded and investors benefit from the completion of the project. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.”
