Formerly Known As pilot episode

We’ve shot the first episode, now help us fund post production!!

As we move into the final stages of editing, we are looking for $3500 to get a professional sound mix, so this can be as polished as possible before we send to festivals or showcase in meetings!

You could be part of the FKA team!

Once sound is finished, the plan is to present the first episode to potential buyers who want to stream it on their platform or network.

Formerly Known As is a mockumentary documenting the trials and tribulations of faded British rockstar Rupert Quinn as he attempts a return to the limelight, and the team trying to make it happen. The only problem is… him. Abrasive and stuck in his ways, Rupert struggles to fit into a new age of music. He’s also a puppet.

Written by Luke Steinborn and directed by Chris Leary (Footnotes), ‘Formerly Known As’ draws inspiration from This Is Spinal Tap with layers of Bojack Horseman. Rupert is brought to life by puppeteer and performer Jayden Libran. (Happy Time Murders)

Shot by the legend Victor Ingles in collaboration with IahBear Productions.

The story is driven by the performances of Libran, Micky Shiloah, Victoria Gekas, Joey Simon, Iah Bearden-Vrai, Andrew Gabriel, Vishal Patel, Blake Rosier, Rachel Thundat, Kory Pollard and Steinborn.
