We began shooting Funemployed on Sept 3, 2009. That was 9 months ago. NINE!
For the past month, we’ve shared the series with you, and finally the product of 9 months of work is complete.
Before we released the first few episodes, we were really really concerned with how people would react to it. Would the audience enjoy this different style, would they keep up, would they get tired of it? All these questions ran through our heads, but to our delight, we were met with great response and support.
When we say “thank you” we truly truly mean it. We would not be making these videos if we didn’t have the fans and supporters to watch and share. This series existed only because of you. Thanks for following, commenting, sharing with friends, giving your enthusiasm and opinions. We couldn’t have asked for more.
And now the question that everyone’s asking. Season 2??? Unfortunately, no there won’t be a 2nd season (at least in the near future) Kev and us are extremely busy with various other projects, and we’re very satisfied to end Jason and Kyle’s story here. I know 11 eps seems short in the real world of television, but for a 3 person crew, it was a huge undertaking and the series was actually longer than what we originally intended (6 episodes). We’re glad that you are all craving more. Which is why I can say confidently that while “Funemployed” is over, this doesn’t mean that we won’t be making more web series in the future. The positive response and the things we learned making this project has definitely encouraged us to explore these types of projects more.
So a final “thank you” for getting us through our first web series ever and being the amazing supporters and fans you are! We hope we get to make videos for you all for a long time!
