PEOPLE YOU KNOW Launches Kickstarter to Fund New Episodes

People you Know - the break out hit new media series - is back and ready to finish the first season. The series will ramp up the drama as the Saints and Sinners learn hard truths about love, friendship and life in the Big Apple. OW Productions will begin filming the 7 remaining episodes of the season on location in New York City in June.

Hailed by The Advocate as "a fast paced and salacious drama," People you Know is a dark and sexy dramedy that chronicles the lives of a group of gay friends, mostly coupled up, who work and play together in New York City. The popularity of the first six episodes led to a distribution deal with HereTV, making it possible to reach more viewers.

"Kickstarter is a great resource for independent and original content. Since we were so successful in our last campaign, we are using that platform again," People you Know co-creator John Dylan DeLaTorre said. "Creators can reach and cultivate an audience that is just as passionate about the characters and narrative as we are. We have been lucky to connect with the viewers in a way that is truly remarkable. We've heard from the fans and know they want to see more. We are very excited to continue telling our story."

OW Productions is looking to raise $75,000 in order to film Season One, Part Two. This will allow for enough funds to secure camera equipment, pay for locations, crew and cast.
