Rueben's Ramblings

Do you love watching TV? Do you enjoy good family drama? Would you want to help make television history with a new kind of story for TV?

Well, now is your chance! My friend Chris Lilly is working on pre-production for a pilot script called “Just Us Guys” that he wrote and plans to produce independently. But, like so many small projects he needs financial backing to make it broadcast quality.

“Just Us Guys” is about a gay father (Scott) who has a best friend relationship with his straight son (Max). But this isn’t a coming out story or an adoption story. This is a wholesome dramedy about a family. Scott and Max are both comic book geeks. They are very much into pop culture and are a lot of fun to be around. Though in his early 30s, Scott is a big kid while Max is more of the adult in the relationship. As Chris shared, “a story like this has never been told on television before, but you have the chance to help me make television history”.

His budget goal is $40,000 so that he can hire professionals with access to high quality equipment.

If you would like to support this new project, you can donate any amount you wish by visiting “Just Us Guys” at Indiegogo. Once there you will see that there are incentives for the level of donations you make. Every penny counts!

You can also “like” “Just Us Guys” on Facebook and follow them on Twitter to help spread the word.

Production on “Just Us Guys” is tentatively planned for November.

Again, any support you can provide would be much appreciated.
