For the last 5-6 years, me and my two closest friends have spent our free time developing a tv series together. After going through multiple concepts and redrafting, as well as a plethora of demo cuts, we've finally come to this final idea for the show. We have finalised our test pilot script, as well as casted over half of our characters, and are looking to shoot later in the year.
"Roaches" is an adult comedy drama series set in Bristol. It follows two small time drug dealers called Dex & Ollie who have hit a brick wall working underneath their supplier. After crossing paths with a whiny easily manipulated rich kid called Zack, they see a golden opportunity. Where they mutually decide to financially exploit him by having him temporarily move into their spare room, as a way to build up the necessary funds in the coming months to turn their minor league weed business into the self sustaining enterprise they've been dreaming of.
We're really hoping we could increase our budget significantly, as we have a lot of talented cast and crew we would love to pay for their time. There's only so much we can do allocating our budget out of our own pockets, and we could really speed forward into production if we were to allocate even the tiniest amount from this.
We'd be so unbelievably thankful to whoever decides to aid us in this passion project. Your names will be credited with heartfelt gratitude and your contribution won't be forgotten. This show has been our primary focus for over half a decade and it would be a dream to see this come to life. Regardless of whether you decide to help us, we really appreciate you taking the time to read this.
Thank you!
