Hey Indietalk,
You've helped me a bunch before, and so i post here again. I know crowd-funding is its own animal, so I ask you all to please check out my project- and spread the word! We're making a comedy pilot! Help me gather some buzz around it, that helps a bunch!
EDIT: We took your advice, and made a nice and short campaign video
Hope this sparks an interest in our project, and is worth your time. Feel free to read the text as well, as it covers the project more in-depth.
Have a look here: http://igg.me/at/clowne
We also just finished casting. Have a look!

Thanks guys!
Here's what the project is all about:
"Clowne" is a comedy series with aspects from "The Big Lebowski", "In Bruges" and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang". It' does not take itself very seriously, although it centers on a strict storyline carefully written. We need help to fund the first episode!
The plot is as follows:
Gary Clowne is finally let out of prison, only to spend the next three years of his life as a clown in order to fulfill his community service. And worst part is: his employer, has misunderstood what a clown is all about. Along the way he falls in love, gets jealous and meets his long-forgotten father.
We want to change how the tv-series are made: we want "Clowne" to have the production quality of a movie, the pace of a hollywood blockbuster and the feel of something strong. If you are not hooked by the end of the first episode, we did something wrong.
This is not a sitcom. Imagine Big Bang Theory with with the production quality, and strong actors, of dramas such as Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, or House of Cards- wouldn't you have loved to see that? We want to start over. The comedy genre should not be sitcoms only.
Clowne is all about loss, standing up for yourself, and letting go of old grudges: next to the clown, Gary has a friend who's name is "TIM". He's a drug addict, and will consume anything that puts his mind at ease. Gary does not like this, and strives to get him off. Along the way, Gary falls in love with a nymphomaniac: a woman who has misunderstood love, and thinks its all about sex, which makes it impossible for Gary to get anything more than a fling. And to make it even easier for Gary, he finally meets his dad after 10 years of lost communication. His dad is dressed up as a gorilla, and believes he has always been an animal. In other words: It's Gary vs the world.
Who are we?
Last year, we made Norway's first ever sci-fi feature film: EVERYWHEN
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2715556/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)
The film made our director, Jarand Breian Herdal, the youngest director in Norway to have a film in theaters. Press showed up, and all in all, people dug it. We got ourselves a distribution deal, which means the movie will be in stores on Blu-Ray, DVD and VOD in USA, Scandinavia, Benelux, and possibly Germany. With this in the back, we're confident that we can both make and sell something great, and that this will actually happen!
We're a group of five 18-year olds, trying to break into the film industry. Being from Norway, and writing a pilot in English, gives us an opportunity to pitch this pilot overseas. But we can't do it alone.
We've made film since 2009. You can have a look at everything we've made here:www.youtube.com/JARANDandJENS
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jarand
