One Dollar Cooking Show
Since September 11, 2001 I have been trying to find a way to get an unusual cooking show off the ground and on the air. They say it takes money to make money. I was fortunate enough in my former country to win two awards for two TV series. We have been told to get a fully 'broadcastable' pilot. That's a whack of cash for the talented and fiscally challenged.
This project is called On With The Apron and all of the three thousand plus people I have discussed this with agree (except for one New Yorker) that the show would generate a life of its own. The timing is about right. I have a great team lined up waiting for the day the funds come rolling in. Lots of jobs would spin off from this series.
I have had to move 12 times due to my Immigrant Struggle and subsequent insecure financial status and refusal to ever get a credit card. I go hungry more times than I could ever have anticipated. With an obsession born of desperation and passion, I crawl my way as an unknown across a landscape of Big America making contacts, making friends. It can be a bit rough starting over!
My sense of urgency is probably because I am so familiar with war, disintegration of a nation, urban terror and personal loss. I am committed to getting this project to the hearts of the American people. The show highlights what is good, great and worth saving in America. All attempts at raising the capital via the banks, venture capitalists and even SBDC have met with predatory financial requirements and unreasonable personal investment. I have several cooking related manufacturers interested in the project once I get the pilot made.
We need $190k for the pilot episode. I am asking everyone with one american dollar to spare to invest. In exchange, these same $1 investors would be given the first shot at the stock options should the show become a hit. There would be a large spin off of small industries.
This is so not in my nature to ask for help but I believe so much in this dream and maybe you will, too. At the very worst outcome, you would only lose $1.
All funds would be overseen by Somebody Acceptable - like the SBDC here in Nashville or the Vanderbilt Credit Union.
Will you help fulfill this dream? It is only $1.
If you, my fellow bloglings, can think of another way of approaching this - let's talk.
