XRhodes Films hasn't added a story.
What's It About?
Forward Slash/Jobs follows the work life of Joseph Pecker - a
professional interviewer at Maxus and Berns, and the characters he
meets in an average day on the job.
As Joseph attempts to
"separate the unstoppable from the unlikely" we are left to
wonder which category he himself fits into.
Who Are We?
XRhodes Films is a new production company based in Liverpool, England. We want to build up a small group of local filmmakers and entertainers - people who understand and appreciate the same styles and have a similar sense of humour - and then continue to branch out and grow to include people further afield. Forward Slash/Jobs is our debut project. It makes us laugh - and we know it'll have you laughing and cringing in equal measure.
Murphy Rhodes (actor/writer/co-producer/co-director) has been performing on stage from early childhood, and during college in 2010, was given the opportunity to enter the world of film acting. Spending more and more time on set, he gained a passion for both sides of the camera. He started writing Forward Slash/Jobs in 2014 and formed XRhodes Films at the script's completion this Summer. His most recent roles include: award-winning short horror film 'Where The Devil Says Goodnight' and as antagonist 'Mike' in 'More Scouse, Saddam?' at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe festival.
Jazz Jago (actress/co-producer/co-director) is an LJMU Drama and English graduate with a passion for acting, producing and directing. She has partaken in a wide range of performance; from musicals such as 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Grease' to Sophocles' 'Antigone'. She was also a member of cast in 'More Scouse, Saddam?' and took part in the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe festival.
For more information about cast and crew, we are releasing a cast bio every week on our Facebook page.
What's The Money For?
We need your help to shoot our first season. Funds will be used for:
-
Props and costumes - wheelchair hire, for example.
-
Transportation of equipment and the expenses of cast and crew.
- Promotional/Marketing - So we can get this thing out there!
- An official website.
The Impact
Anybody who has ever had a job interview will relate to this show. Anybody who has ever held a job interview will relate to this show. And if you can't relate to either of those two previous sentences, we all envy you. Maybe this show will enlighten you as to just what you're missing out on regarding the whole joyous process.
The other, real impact of this show - is that by donating, you're opening the door to a young crew with big ideas. Making a dream come true, in essence. And we'll be eternally grateful.
Risks and Challenges
We see no real risks if our funding goal is achieved. The biggest challenge would be getting the series seen by as many people as possible, however to counter this we will be working with a social media consultant. We have also been doing a lot of research on the subject ourselves. Again, with funding, we can push some of the budget towards promotion, expanding our audience.
Can't donate? There are other ways you can help!
