The premiere episode of THIS IS NOW is LIVE on Substack!

Well, we did it! We came up with a hare-brained scheme to make a crazy new show, you thought it was just crazy enough to support, and now... it actually exists! Let's take a moment to appreciate about how how cool that is.

Okay, enough of appreciating the conceptual, let's get down to watching the actual. Press play already, why don't you?

While you're watching over on Substack, please make sure to hit that subscribe button so you don't miss future episodes, outtakes, and assorted other hi-jinx. Please leave a comment below the video and tell us what you think, and please share it with anyone you think might like this sort of thing.

Once again, let us thank you, our Kickstarter backers, for helping make this  a reality.

WATCH THIS IS NOW... NOW!

Housekeeping: BackerKit surveys,  rewards shipping, and a minor problem

Thanks to those of you who have already filled out your BackerKit surveys. Due to a hiccup when our project was set up, BackerKit was not initially collecting for the shipping fees associated with sending your rewards. 

Short version: Even if you have already completed your survey, if you have not added a credit card on BackerKit, we still need you to add that info before we can ship your rewards. Apologies for the inconvenience. 

To access your BackerKit survey at any time: Click here and enter your email, and you can add your CC info, grab some THIS IS NOW merch, and get everything squared away. 

BackerKit surveys are coming + a NYC screening!

Incredible! In less than 72 hours, you fine folks have fully funded the production of the first episode of THIS IS NOW! We are heartened that so many people are excited about the premise of this show and we can't wait to get to Chicago and start shooting!

Any additional funds we raise over the initial $2500 goal will go toward producing future episodes and leveling-up our production kit, so please help us spread the word! The Kickstarter is still up and running until August 21, smack in the middle of the DNC.

Some of you have asked about add-ons, so you can get an extra t-shirt, zine, etc. We will be adding those to the campaign shortly. 

We leave you now with a little iPhone update from the middle of this weekend's Open Streets in NYC...
