Big
Avery had started to be a spokesman in a commercial. He was semi-famous, people walked by him knowing they’d seen him somewhere. It went to his head, of course. Avery’s ego was boosted. When talking to his realtor he said, “Just remember, I’m big, people know who I am. Find me something that’ll make me feel as big as I am.”
When he look to find what the realtor had found, each one was the same very time, like a shed. It angered Avery.
“What do you keep finding me?” he asked.
“They are tiny homes,” the realtor replied.
“Why? Why would you find these for me?”
“Because...they’ll make you feel big.”
Avery stopped talking. This was not what he meant.
OOPS WE STARTED SHOOTING.
2 days down, 5 to go.
Gearing up.
You guys, we’re ready to make three more episodes.
And that’s exactly what we’re bouts ta do.
We’ve been working crazy hard over in the Semi-Famous lab, and the shooting schedule is officially set (with some awesome guest stars!) A seven day shoot in late July will cover what we need for episodes 3, 4, & 5.
We think you’ll like ‘em.
Until then, enjoy some pics from the table read we did today, and thanks for being patient.
In the words of Sgt. Danny Butterman, THIS IS ABOUT TO GO OOOOOFFFFFFFF.
Semi-famous
After the pleasant encounter of meeting a nice man in a public place, a friend of a friend, doing the normalized thing, if you will, I brave another foray into the crazy world of Crazy Blind Date.
I know, I know, that app was obviously named after me, because after Spankistani you’d think I’d raise that white flag already. But fuck the world. As a brown, fat girl, you think this to yourself a lot and it helps. It helps with the necessary resilience that we arm ourselves with in this world of modern dating.
So, yeah, I go back on it. I match with this dude, let’s call him Semi-famous. He chats me up on the app, and I cancel on the meeting (a weekend night) because I’m going to visit my parents. We end up talking on the app a bunch, which is unexpected, but nice. He seems to be, either, a) a total player because he keeps bringing up that he travels a lot and is only in NY for so long, or b) totally fresh off the boat, perhaps just moved here from India or something like it. But things he keeps saying sort of throw both those assessments out the window. Something in between a) and b) is what I begin to suspect. Some FOB-y playa, who can also play at being engaging, and sweet. I think a degree of hindsight is creeping into this paragraph.
We agree to meet on a Tuesday night because he’s going to be in my neighborhood, at a bar that is one of my favorites (they make deep-fried brussels sprouts)! I go there, and sure enough, much cuter in person than in the scrambled picture he put up. He has a deep voice and looooooong lashes, and those panther eyes I get such a boner for. We grab some drinks and sit at a booth and talk for hours. Turns out, he’s in the music biz, is an international dude (though originally from India), and was there for some sort of record release party. He even says he used the app to do some research for a similar app idea he was thinking of creating (yeah, dude, we all say weird things when we’re tryna get laid).
We totally hit it off, and some of his friends join us: an older man who used to be producer of 80s pop classics, a younger lady who does PR for bands. We order food, and I wax poetic about the brussels sprouts so we get 2 orders for the table.
“These better be good!” Semi-famous says, NO THREAT OF A SPANKING ON THE HORIZON. Progress :)
And they ARE good. At one point when Semi-famous goes to the bathroom, his friends ask me how long we’ve known each other.
“Oh... we only just met.” I say with a small, embarrassed smile.
“I never would have guessed! Thought you guys knew each other forever!” says the charming older man (we still follow each other on instagram)
When Semi-famous comes out, at some point I sort of whisper that I didn’t yet tell them we met on some random dating app. But, that I did mention we just met. Semi-famous is all affectionate at this point, but not creepy. Sweet little touches here and there. By now, it’s also 1 am, when Semi-famous mentions a full on famous band coming to join us, because they’re all such good friends.
So full on famous band member comes by, with his supermodel girlfriend who I totally bro down with. At 4 am, Semi-famous walks me home to make sure I get there safely, we make out in front of my door, and then he hails a cab and goes home.
That night, I tweet something about how nice it is to meet such a gentleman.
No matter what comes later, there was a little bit of the ridiculous and the magical about that night. Actually, about most of my dating experiences. Let’s remember that, eh?
UPDATES!
Hey all!
Our IndieGoGo campaign closed, and you're probably wondering what we've been up to over here.
Basically, we had a plan, and now it's changed, and we're adjusting.
We originally planned to do these next three episodes one at a time, leading up to our mid-season finale. Scheduling conflicts now require us to shoot all three at once, so we're going to Peter Jackson this baby. As a result, this takes a lot more planning and figuring out. Episode 3 is written and ready to go, and we're currently finalizing episodes 4 and 5.
Thanks for sticking with us, and stay tuned for updates!
Crowdsourcing finished!
HEY EVERYBODY.
It's a bittersweet notion to announce that our IndieGoGo campaign to crowdsource Semi-Famous's funding has ended.
While we didn't reach our goal, we did raise enough to make another batch of episodes. How many episodes that will end up being is unclear - Ezra and I are dedicated to producing the highest-quality series we can, so we'll see what ends up happening. In the end, this is why we chose IndieGoGo - we knew we asked for a lot of money, and we wanted to be able to keep whatever we could.
To everybody who donated to our cause (sometimes more than once) - we cannot thank you enough. We are beyond grateful, and we promise to use your money to bring you the highest quality series we can deliver.
SO LET'S DO IT.
Stay tuned here for updates! And in the meantime, here's episode One and Two.
HOUSTON, WE HAVE LIFT-OFF.
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls... ... Semi-Famous is launched.
Our IndieGoGo campaign to crowdsource the remaining eight episodes has been officially unveiled.
After two years of hard work, we're ready to rock and roll. All night long. Sweet Suzie.
Episode 1 is up right now, and Episode 2 will be up next week! And if you love it, throw us ten million dollars to make the next eight.
Ezra and I could not be prouder of how these two episodes came out, and we hope you can help us reach our goal. And, as of now with the donations we've reached, we're officially locked in for Episode 3! Help us make the crawl towards locking down Episode 4!
Thank you all so much for your support! We love you all equally. Well, except for GOB. We never much cared for him.
- Wilder
