Award-winning film director Rob Margolies attached to Big Time

Big Time, a half-hour comedy pilot written and produced by Amy G (G-Force Productions) now has award-winning film director, Rob Margolies (She Wants Me, Roommate Wanted, Weight) signed on to direct. 

 

The show revolves around Amy G, a middle-aged woman who runs away from the circus, moves in with a couple of millenials in New York, and together they learn how to fail fabulously and shamelessly, in no-holds-barred pursuit of the big time. 

Shooting is scheduled for late June - early July 2019.  Casting is still underway.  Amy G is, of course, attached to play herself.

250%  FUNDRAISING GOAL REACHED FOR BIG TIME PILOT

IMG_4802.PNG

Thanks to 69 contributors (I know, right?) on the Kickstarter crowd-funding platform, G-Force Productions made 30K to make Big Time, a sitcom pilot!  

The month of April was incredibly exciting as people from all around the globe shared their enthusiasm and support for the project that contends to not only do the obvious - put it's creator, Amy G, in the position to run her own show - a lifelong dream, but also to create genuinely funny lead roles for people of color, queerness, and all ages.  

The fundraising effort was extraordinarily successful, reaching its goal in just 2.5 days, and then far exceeding it at 250% by the end of the 30 day campaign.  So much love and gratitude for all the Big Time supporters! 

Of course there is still a lot to do, and if you are eager to get involved, please feel free to hit the button below and let us know how you may be able to help, with time, wisdom, connections, etc.  This is the first time I've attempted to make a TV pilot, so any and all donations of experience, knowledge or energy of any kind are very welcome!
