Donation protected
Creators: Thomas Rechenberg and Luke Valdes-Rodriguez

Picture this: Chris Palmer (Andrew Ferguson), a smooth-talking idea man and his slightly on the spectrum, industry connected business partner Magnus Clapherty (Thomas Rechenberg) invent a prototype for a revolutionary new product.

Now also picture this: it’s an egg-shaped device that when licked (yes, licked) uses AI to tell you the exact food you’re craving. I know what you’re thinking but stay with me.

Imagine a brand new comedy pilot about the drastic lengths Chris and Magnus go to in hopes of bringing Lick It (yup, that’s what they call it) to life. Pretty cool, huh?

You can open your eyes now. Presenting, It’s Not How it Sounds.

Creators Thomas Rechenberg and Luke Valdes-Rodriguez need YOUR help to produce what some are calling the funniest pilot that hasn’t been made yet. My mom counts as some people. And you might be thinking, hang on a second - these guys created a tv show about a couple of fellas who need money for an idea? Isn’t that what they’re doing in real life? Meta, right? We thought so.

It’s got action, comedy, intrigue, bearded dragons, business execs connected to the underground tech world, genius coding wizards who want to build Lick It so they can sell DNA on the black market, Venezuelan gangsters who end up befriending Magnus while they’re also trying to kill him, next door neighbors who may or may not have feelings for Chris even though said neighbor is in a relationship, tacos, infomercials and that’s just the first episode!

Any donation to the project would be a massive help. Hollywood ain’t cheap these days! All donations will go towards equipment, locations, top quality actors, feeding the crew and making you laugh.

Thank you so much and we would love for you to join the It’s Not How it Sounds team!
