Here is the details on my proposed Web Series. Any crowdfunding campaign will not likely start until March or April of 2016 at the very earliest.
Decrepit Community Ed
(This is just a working title).
The premise - A soap opera style satire depicting numerous
efforts between multiple groups regarding a pair of old decrepit closed schools
and want to do with them and there is some good unrelated subplots. The idea
for this was actually inspired by actual failed attempts to renovate (Waste of
money) and reopen two closed elementary schools (As middle schools) in the
school district that I live in but fortunately the plans to renovate ultimately
got scuttled after a School Board member that supported renovations dropped
over dead and was eventually replaced (Appointed by a Common Pleas judge) by a
vocal opponent of the proposed attempts to renovate those schools which ended
up (After the previous municipal election guaranteed a majority that opposed
renovations in favor of building new) being completely auctioned off and sold
altogether.
The structure of each episode - Each episode will run from
30 to 60 minutes.
The good unrelated subplot.
Subplot # 1 - A unrelated shoot a an unrelated gun club forces
the rivalries between two gun clubs (Which is completely instigated by a couple
that’s living in a Travel Trailer or Truck Camper that’s located on several
acres of property partially littered with junk) to end up proposing a set of
shootout competitions to take place at a neutral gun club who does have a trap
range that does not follow ATA specs and allows alcoholic beverages to be consumed
on their property.

Microphones, Shotgun Microphone kits, Lighting kits, a computer dedicated for
