Oblivion: The Series

About the campaign: Oblivion is a 22-minute episodic series following the interlocking lives of a group of counter-culture types in the fictional city of Holwenstall.This is a completely DIY project made with absolutely no money, a 4-person crew and a large ensemble cast. Our project is incredibly ambitious and we’ve been able to pull off things sans a budget just through local resources and favors much in-tune with the punk ideology we present. But there’s only so much we can get away with without your assistance!We’re attempting to raise $2,500. Half of which would go towards marketing expenses, and the other to purchase more equipment (we are currently filming Eps. 4-12 simultaneously).

Your pledge would greatly increase the chances of our show surviving. Money for expendables, lighting, securing locations (we’ve been kicked out a few since we shoot without permits), set dressing, props, counter-culture wardrobe, make-up, water for the cast and crew (everyone’s usually dehydrated) and occasional catering would be nice. We also seek donations to help us market the show to build a larger audience as well as to attract the attention of any future sponsors or financers by taking out print ads, making flyers, posters and other materials. It would assist us in building a great PR package.

If you pledge $2 you receive a thank you credit at the end of an Oblivion episode as well as on the website. If you pledge $20 you get to be an extra on the show plus receive a merch bag with stickers and buttons, etc. If you pledge $125 you get all of the above and receive an autographed copy of the first season of Oblivion once it hits DVDs plus your name listed in the interior packaging! The more you pledge, the more you get…including screening tickets to future theatrical screenings of Oblivion with a Q&A.;

This project is a labor of love to all involved. Four of our cast members even live out of state and pay from their own pockets to fly out for shoot dates. Your support would mean a great deal and allow us to flourish as independent filmmakers in a world marginalizing creative freedom.

We greatly appreciate your support!
