me and a couple of others have made a comedy series, and have shot a pilot episode to shop around to people for some funding.
this is the teaser trailer for said comedy series.
i hope you enjoy... you can learn more about the idea on it's own little website www.theundercoverhonda.com

showing people thinking "laugh dammit" in my head... it's genuine panic attack time!
really happy it made you laugh, as that was the point. x

but i don't know where your sitting, if your back is turned and your hearing is blocked by pneumatic drills then that could be a really cutting insult...
or it could all be a ruse and you could be standing!

I was thinking about this just recently, can you tell an entire story without leaving the car? Evidently the answer is yes.
Reservoir Dogs paved the way I suppose by not showing the stereotypically exciting part. Or maybe "Macbeth", where most of the actual killing happens off-stage. Either way, the interesting thing is how ACTION isn't what tells the story, it's the buildup and the aftermath, both of which might well happen in the same car. It's an excellent choice of conceit and, incidentally, a money-saving one.
If it's as good as that last line there you should have no trouble. I'm tempted to ask what it would cost to finish the series but, not working in the industry, I rather think I'd be a bad investor for you in every other way.

there's a number of devices i've tried to work into each episode that give you a wider sense of freedom as it was my main concern... that's why i'd like to get some funding to finish it, becuase those moments are really good fun (i think) and think people would get a kick out of it.
also Marion and Jeff made me realise that if you work hard enough you can contain a story in a car...
in terms of what it would cost that's my producers area of expertise, i know that its cheap compared to most other comedy series of similar length and time... but not so cheap that we can shoot it ourselves (we all put a bit of cash in for the pilot)

However, is it Daren or Darren? The video says the former, the web site the latter.

Similar to a Mafia surveillance tape that turned up a few years ago, the amount of desperate penny pinching scamming being planned to, apparently, barely make minimum wage hardly seemed worth the risk.

Which by British TV comedy standards is quite the rarity these days.
Go for it and good luck!

So fed up of seeing unfunny mercan sitcoms and canned laughter.
This really made me giggle.
Please don't let Ricky (unfunniest arsehole in the universe)Gervais get involved with it and spoil what could well be the funniest thing for years.

Look for crowd funding sites. Don't know the UK versions but they're out there.
