Be a Part of Door to Door!

Haven’t you ever wanted to be part of something truly amazing?

Here’s your chance to be part of the Door to Door team! We welcome you to join our Kickstarter Campaign, where we’re raising the funds we need to be able to bring you the rest of Season 1! Each donation tier offers a reward for your generosity, and with a minimum donation of only $1, there’s no need to break the bank in order to become part of something amazing!

Door to Door KickstarterWhat is Door to Door?

Door to Door is a mockumentary style web series about the employees of At Your Door Service Enterprises; a unique door to door sales company that sells anything that their clients desire. From swords to fishes, anything their client wishes.

The plot revolves around new salesman Bryan Cooper, socially confused Cynthia Patterson, and fitness aficionado Ed Phuket (the sales team). Under the direction of their overly enthusiastic boss Klaus, and with sales routes mapped by bitter receptionist Mildred Mortimer, they are followed by a group of documentarians to capture their antics in the workplace, on their sales calls, and sometimes even their private lives.

The first season will consist of 20 (amazing) episodes, approximately 7-10 minutes each.

Where will I watch it?

Well, you can watch the pilot right here!

Once the rest of the season commences, you will be able to view it here on our website TheBestSeriesEver.com, our Facebook Page, and our Vimeo page!

What’s the funding for?

Well, to put things in perspective, we have twenty episodes written and ready to go. That breaks our funding goal down to about $1,000 per episode, which is pretty tight. For example, an episode of The Office costs somewhere in the arena of $1 Million to produce… so we’re hoping to do a whole lot with a little. If we’re able to surpass our goal, the show will only get better!

There are a lot of costs involved in creating a 20 episode web series including, and not limited to, production fees, location fees, props, costumes, lighting, equipment, licenses, marketing, post-production, crew, talent, etc., but we’re committed to delivering the best possible show to our viewers and supporters.

So, become a backer of Door to Door! Be a part of the At Your Door Service Enterprises Team and let’s make history!

The New Job…

I’ve worked a lot of crappy jobs. I’m starting to think maybe they’re all crappy. I’ve been yelled at, debased, stalked, slapped, and covered in food, and that was all in the same day. So I’m trying to be optimistic about this new job, but it’s hard to get too excited. I don’t want to be disappointed again. One thing that seems good about it so far is that the boss seems to really like me. His name is Klaus, or something equally hilarious. And when I say he likes me, I mean he hired me without an interview, after meeting with me for five seconds. He seems pretty convinced that I have the same name as an actor, but I’m pretty sure he’s thinking of Bradley Cooper, and not Bryan.

Ah, "Beach Day." My overbearing boss claimed that I just wasn't "beachy" enough... Even with that hippo floaty thing.

The one thing that seems really interesting is that this job is apparently the new subject of a documentary, so there will be camera crews following us around for a while. So if I suck, everyone will know. And if the job sucks, everyone will know. I am a little nervous about being on camera, in case there’s anybody out there who might be looking for me, but then I don’t really know anybody who watches documentaries.

I stood at the corner of Trade and Tryon for 8 solid hours dressed as a garbanzo bean in the heat of the summer as a walking advertisement for my last company; The Great Garbanzo Bakery.

Here’s to hoping that the job is great and I’m great at it and everything works out in the end. It can’t possibly be any worse than my last six jobs.

Yes, while working as a valet I actually got my head stuck in this lawn "sculpture." Sigh.
