Can a series about life after art school make a dent in the web series market?
Houston, Texas-February 4, 2015 — Producer Rico Edwards is looking to kick start his new project “Paying Dues”. The Houston based web series has garnered a lot of attention from local artists with the hopes of making it to a screen near you. The web series follows five recent college graduates trying to break into the entertainment industry in Houston and is “something that has never been done” according to the producer of the project. People who have art degrees are 5 times less likely to work in their fields. “Paying Dues” showcases the ambition of these graduates but also shows the downright dirty truth about life post art school.
Rico Edwards says, “The realities of going towards your dreams are mistakenly measured in black and white, either you are successful or you’re not”. With the national average for student loan debt at over $25,000, it seems this series may be able to motivate those who aren’t necessarily in a creative field connect with both the struggles and solutions. “Paying Dues” is now on KickStarter.com and is looking for a $1,500 support line to help it into production.
