Help the new mockumentary series BAD SIDES get made! -- Indiegogo

BAD SIDES is a new mockumentary comedy series from creators Nathan Adloff, Danny Rhodes and Justin D.M. Palmer, starring Adloff, Rhodes, and Sadieh Rifai. The story centers around Marcuss (Rhodes), a spoiled trust fund wannabe amateur filmmaker and Marcuss's adoring sycophant friend Allison (Rafai) during their ongoing quest to cast his film. Dissatisfied with the available talent pool in Chicago, their new intern Nick (Adloff) quickly discovers that the problem might have less to do with the talent of the actors, and more to do with the crazy people running the auditions.

Shot on location in Chicago, with a story that takes place in Chicago, starring Chicago's very best talent, each episode of Bad Sides features a cameo guest star spot that serves as the thematic focus of that week's episode.

Bad Sides is directed by Nathan Adloff the Chicago filmmaker known for his unique brand of wicked comedies. Adloff, Rhodes, and Palmer team up to bring Chicago audiences the kind of brutal humor found in Adloffs award-winning short films, UNTIED STRANGERS and IRREGULAR FRUIT.

Bad Sides is shot on location in Chicago at the amazing Gorilla Tango Theatre using the Canon 7D camera and a whole lot of support from people like you!

We are lucky enough to have the extraordinary composer, Kevin O'Donnell making some awesome original tunes for the show!

Our goal of $3,000 by December 1st will help us keep Bad Sides going and allow us to use Chicago area talent on and off camera for future episodes. We cant wait to show you the rest of the season!
