An Unemployed Wolfman needs your help

Yes, you read that right.... maybe more accurately, burgeoning film makers John Rodriguez, Gilberto Gomez and Fernando Gomez need your help to make their cinematic style web series 'Unemployed Wolfman' a reality.

This is what they are pitching:

Jared the Wolfman (not a werewolf as he never changes into human form) used to be at the top of the food chain. As the only wolfman around he was the go to actor for werewolf movies. He had it all: fame, fortune, and anything he could ever ask for. Unfortunately, it all got to his head and over time he became incredibly difficult to work with.

Assured that life would be like this forever, Jared spent his money with reckless abandon over the greater part of the last century. Money brought him friends, but eventually it was another fleeting part of his life. Today, he finds himself with only three friends that still talk to him (Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy) and an agent who has grown attached to Jared and believes he can still be the star he once was in Ronald.

However, modern times have bred the popularity of CGI and Jared finds himself competing with the evolving nature of society and technology. Ever the old soul, Jared struggles to understand the changes life has brought to him. In the pilot episode, Jared is filming Wolfman 2, but due to over-budgeting and being behind schedule the producers decide it isn't worth it anymore and pull out of the project leaving Jared jobless. Beyond that, Ronald informs him that he is now broke.

This series chronicles Jared's life as he begins to pick up the pieces.

Given the current popularity of the supernatural genre, and the quirky twist that these guys present, it looks like they might be onto something. The biggest issue they are facing (and it's not an uncommon one) is funding, so just like other movies recently made, they are asking fans (and curious onlookers - no one's being fussy) to donate via Indie GoGo. Depending on your cash flow, and/or level of recognition you may like to acquire, they are accepting $10 to $1,000 donations and are aiming for a initial $3,000 to shoot the pilot. For your generous contribution, you will receive one of the following:

$10 or more: Special Thanks in credits

$25 or more: Special Thanks in credits PLUS signed concept art

$50 or more: Everything above PLUS a DVD copy of the pilot episode signed by the creator
$75 or more: Everything above PLUS have a character named after you in the show
$100 or more: Everything above PLUS an Unemployed Wolfman/Full Moon Films T-shirt
$250 or more: Everything above PLUS an exclusive gag reel and receive Associate Producer credit
$500 or more: Everything above PLUS a personalized Jared the Wolfman video message

$1000 or more: Everything above PLUS a cameo in the pilot episode AND a dinner with the cast and crew!!! (Continental USA only)

If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, then they are accepting donations via PayPal (for piece of mind). If you can't donate fiscally, they are more than happy with a  tweet, or facebook page 'like' to help get the word out there.

It's really not easy to get these sorts of ventures off and running and these guys truly appreciate any and every morsel of exposure and cash they can get. Tell your momma, pappa, bestie, the strange dude sitting next to you on the bus, even your dentist! "For any reference you give out, you get a mental hug from all of us."
