Two RVA guys, Will & Dave took their act to LA almost 3 years ago once they secured some work with Fuel TV producing skits for a show called Stupidface. The guys quickly got noticed and they secured a management agency that got their videos into the hands of Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die Network that was in pre-production for the first season of their HBO show. Now they are going at it alone to produce their own full-length movie and they could use your help. Check out their indiegogo.com page and take part in what will sure become an iconic film of our generation.

Our Story

We (Will and Dave) have been making sketch comedy for 10 years under the name daybyday productions. Originally from Richmond Virginia, we’ve been living in LA for three years, been on a couple sketch comedy TV shows and now we are ready for features… but we could use a little help. We had an outline for our film “The Nowhere” and we wanted to test out our awesome new camera, so we made the trailer for it. Currently we are working on the screenplay for “The Nowhere”, a dark and twisted comedy about a guy named Dave who’s girlfriend becomes lost in a coma for many months. When doctors explain that she may never wake up, Dave turns to his last resort and seeks the help of his old friend Will, who’s a so called “mind expert” and alcoholic who also lives in a hotel. Will sells a desperate Dave on the idea that true love holds a spiritual connection between two people and that if she really loves him, she will exist somewhere within his own mind. Dave has no other choice but to follow Will’s idiotic advice and gets sent into his own mind where he finds that he has some dark secrets, and creatures inside his subconscious. His journey to save his girlfriend will be much harder than he thought, that is if he can even save himself and get out alive. Things are constantly never what they seem, over and over and over again.

The Impact

Ultimately we aim to raise 100k for our feature debut. However if we don’t succeed in raising that amount we’ll keep raising money by other means until we have enough to make our first movie. We’ve been making videos and sketch comedy for little to no budget for years now and our attitude has always been, “make it happen”, there is always a way.

What We Need & What You Get

We need more cameras, computers, more equipment, money to fund camera and audio operators, line producers, actors, locations, lodging, craft services, and music rights. What you will get… check out the perks over there on the right.

Review | Oscar Wilde Still Knows Exactly Who We Are

The Importance of Being Ernest has been on my radar since I was 13, when my beloved Morrissey mentioned Oscar Wilde in an interview. (Mind you, this was long before Morrissey’s far-right weirdo rants.) As a massive fan of the arch, wry, witty lyrics of the Smiths and...
