Many of you may remember us from last fall as we embarked on a jam-packed production schedule to create an original web series from the ground up. With a shoestring budget and a big dream, we had an absolute blast making Adventures of a Merch Girl. Some of you contributed to our Indiegogo campaign last November to help us get our series off the ground, many of you read our e-mails, looked at our pictures, "liked" us (it's real if it's on Facebook, right???) and came to our post-production party at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC in April. A few of you even let us borrow your nun chucks or gave us bubble wrap. Even if you did none of those things, you're reading this now, and that's all that counts. We are living in the here and now, after all, and it seems like a pretty good place to be.
After almost a year of editing, working, moving to the west coast, sailing around the world on a cruise ship and having a baby, we're proud to birth the whimsical tale of 4 young go-getters who make up the employees of Mile High Merch, a fictitious indie t-shirt design company in New York City.
Adventures of a Merch Girl is not just a non-linear comedic web series about a merch company. It's about 4 completely different and outlandish characters (with good hair) who are stuffed into the same apartment when they can't afford their office space and the weirdness that ensues. Narcissistic indie band rockers, psychedelic flower children and Yugoslavian thug sublettors all take Mile High Merch by storm, but the team is determined to hold down the fort. That is, until their absentee boss, Walso, gets back. By the way, where IS Walso?
Loaded with crazy characters, accents, improv, 1980's references and underdog charm, we're happy to begin the countdown to our Season 1 launch.
To whet your appetite, we'd like to introduce you to the talented cast and crew. Each week we'll also be featuring the musicians who contributed to the awesome soundtrack we know you'll dig in Season 1.
