Hey Silverlake fanz!
It's not yet a week since our FUNdraiser throwdown, and we're still recovering from the fierce danceparty brought straight to our faces and feet by the one and only The Flashdance. And now, we're thrilled to announce that you can relive (or experience for the first time) the dancefloor shredding beats from that night in this fierce LIVE recording of his mix. He's just supernaturally talented, yo. It's mindblowing.

A few of the raffle prizes are still yet unclaimed, so be sure to check your tickets against the winning numbers. Our grand prize is still up for grabs, among several other sexy treats!
Meanwhile, we have news: with the strain on our resources and time, we've decided that instead of shooting the entire Pilot, we will shoot a 3 minute trailer for the Pilot for 3 days in July, instead of 8 days. We feel that shooting a Preview of the Pilot instead of the entire thing, will make better use of our resources and we might actually have a better chance of getting executives in the studios to sit through a 3 minute trailer than to ask for 30 minutes of their time. This way, we can really flesh out the moments that best define our characters, plot, tone and style with 150% of our magical powers. We're really excited!
We were able to assemble more of our core crew yesterday after a series of interviews yielding plentiful young talent in LA. Everything is coming together like a delicious stew, seasoned juuuuuust right :)
Stay tuned for more details on shooting, info on how to get your very own fancy Silverlake 90026 T-shirt.... and continue to follow along with our progress as we go!
Oh, and if you like supporting local artists and enjoy the tingle of feeling like a big-balling' hollywood financier, check out our friends Brock & Jocelyn's worthy project Your Friends Close. They're 6 days from the end of their Kickstarter campaign and every wee penny you can spare will inch them closer to their goal. Because if they don't hit that goal on time, they don't get nuthin'. And that just ain't fair, especially for a movie that sounds so utterly bad-ass. So go on, check it out, and maybe throw a few bones their way, m'kay?
...a sitcom loosely based on a true-ish story.

So, what's this sitcom all about, anyway?
Silverlake 90026
loosely based on a true-ish story
loosely based on a true-ish story
Welcome to the city of dreams! But this ain’t no Beverly Hills, this is Silverlake - where the clothes are dark, the jeans are skinny, and the mustache is king. From here, three best-friends-for-life Hunter, Dana and Nick awkwardly shuffle their way up the Hollywood ladder as they and their motley crew of friends try to “fit in”. But in the city where “in” changes daily, there are sure to be some prat falls.
The Pilot: It’s Hunter and Dana’s 7-year anniversary, and they’re celebrating with a romantic dinner at their favorite restaurant, El Conquistador, with margaritas, candlelight and... their best friend Nick(?!). Since these friends-for-life all met on the same day, it makes sense to celebrate together, right? Hunter plans to propose to Dana tonight, but is foiled by Nick’s vocal disdain for all things wedding. Later, in secret, Hunter asks and Dana accepts, but now they have to find a way to break the news to Nick without breaking his (miraculous baboon) heart. They turn for help to their trusty friend Freeman, an unlikely oracle of deadpan one-liners, but his unfortunate tendency towards panic attacks gets in the way. The plot reaches it’s climax during a birthday party at Tantra for Dana’s friend Stacie-Lyndsay, a spunky and neurotic young actress who just might have a little crush on Nick. The truth comes out in the bar bathroom, and as with all bathroom suspense, we can only hope that everything comes out ok in the end.
Silverlake 90026 is a love story to LA - celebrating an artsy and progressive neighborhood, with a wink and smile toward the unique brand of hipster that calls that neighborhood home. We plan to feature the area prominently, like a secondary character in the show, and highlight its natural beauty and diverse artistic talent- base. Because, let’s face it, Beverly Hills is just so 10 years ago.
We've worked on this pilot for 2 years and we're finally shooting next month with the assistance of some mega-veterans of the sitcom industry, but we need to raise a little kale to make it possible... so come party with us this Thursday, June 23rd to support local, independent art!
