SOFA SURFER - Help us make a pilot for our TV comedy series

A comedy about a housing benefits officer who becomes homeless when he is forced to return to the small town of Milton Keynes.

Our Story

Hello, we are trying to raise enough finance to make a promotional pilot for our new TV comedy show- Sofa Surfer.  

 

Separately we have written and performed stand-up comedy in the UK and written various TV, features, commercials, and award winning shorts.

 

Together we want to bring this generation the new television comedy that reflects a life style we fear but may only just be around the corner. 

 

So if you like 'Arrested Development' 'Spaced', '30 Rock', 'The Inbetweeners', 

'The Office' and 'Alan Partridge' as much as us, then we think you'll enjoy Sofa Surfer.

  

The Impact

Sofa Surfer follows the evolution or devolution of Dom, a lovable but down -on- his luck- housing benefits officer who himself becomes homeless when work relocates him back to his home town of Milton Keynes - the very place he thought he escaped years ago.

In the grip of having the worst year of his life, with his dad dying and all his inheritance being blown by his ex- fiancée, Dom is forced to live a lie.

 

Each episode sees Dom needing to stay at a different persons sofa and reconnect with old friends, old flames and people from his childhood until he can sort out his situation.

 

Posing the question: can we ever really escape our past?

 

What We Need & What You Get

 

We have worked our knackers off to get to this stage but now the real work is to come. Now we have to shoot it.


We are asking all our friends and family to help as we want it to look like REAL TV! 


As we need to showcase to TV commissioning editors and exec-producers that the show is funny, has longevity and audience appeal.


We've already got a great team assembled and are asking some well known comedy names for cameos. We'll announce exactly who as soon as possible. 


BUT we need just enough money to cover transport and food for the actors and crew plus a location and then post production for a picture grade and sound mix upon completion.

 

EVERYONE is working for free because they believe in the project.


SO PLEASE if you like what you've read, give what you can.

 

Other Ways You Can Help

It's not ALL about the money so no worries if you can't contribute BUT if you have time to just spread the word and forward the link to all your friends that would be really appreciated.
