Kickstarting Season One
We didn’t make our pilot with the idea that we’d shut down this operation immediately thereafter. Here in my office, I’ve got a jumbo-sized whiteboard full of ideas for future episodes of Put This On. We were sure we wanted to keep doing this. The only thing we weren’t sure about was how we were going to pay for it.
We didn’t expect the funding for our pilot to come through, but people who believed in us stepped up and paid for it. So while we thought about a variety of ways to fund season one, in the end, we figured we should ask you. We get the impression that you liked it enough to give a few bucks to see more. Isn’t that how the future of media is supposed to work?
I’ll echo my partner Jesse’s sentiments on what it means to support a show like ours, in this way. We’re making this show from love—Jesse’s love for the subject of style, my love of helping communicate that love. Our ambition is to make something that you’ll love, too.
We’re almost 1/3rd funded as of right now, which is an incredible start. Already, five people have pledged enough to receive their very own custom special edition Put This On jumpsuit, just like the one I wear. Note: if I ever see one of you out in public, wearing your PTO jumpsuit, I promise to hump your leg until you say stop.
To recap: if you like what we’re doing, throw us a little dough.
