Lights, Camera...all cost money

Though this is a low-budget production, things have started to add up.

Expenses:

$8.50 - chips, salsa, cups, soda (for Foot in the Mouth)
$15.00 - Big-ass Clamp-Light + 200w light bulb (so far, only used on tomorrow's "Rock Star")

Expenses forseen in the not-too-distant future:

-Another light + lightbulb ($15.00)
-Diffusion Sheets to make the lights not so damn bright ($15-$25)
-Microphone for Camera ($25-$400)
-Final Cut Pro (Free? - $1200)

Coming soon: An easy way for those driven to the site via clever innuendo to donate money to the cause.

This is going to be difficult

Welcome.

We are semi-professionals with a not-so-modern camera making a short a week whether we like it or not.

Two reasons for The Short-a-Week Project:

1. To entertain you.

2. To keep my writing fresh and Lawrence's acting more fresh. Fresher? You get the point.

Oh, and also for fun.

We're not going to improv a few lines, film some stupid stuff with friends. We're going to write, direct, act, and edit...some stupid stuff with friends.

There is two of us. And more, if you want to help...

Is this like Jonathan Coulton's "Thing a Week" project?

Exactly. Well, not exactly. But inspired by. Big ups to JoCo.

Check back every Friday for a new short.

And we LOVE comments - anonymous or otherwise. It lets us know how we're doing...

Seriously.
