On this Thanksgiving Day, The Entertainment Experiment is proud to bring you something pretty special: The pilot for an ambitious new show created by Logen Christopher and Corey Rich, the filmmaking duo behind Knight St. Media.
"The Professionals," shot entirely in Portland, follows four main characters (played by some heavy-hitters on the Maine film scene): Owen (Matthew Delamater), a former banker turned professional homeless man; Gary (Ty Gowen), a lazy dropout who begs on the street and looks at Owen as a mentor; Aubrey (Ashley Brooks), an intelligent, strong woman who manipulates the weakness of men by using her body to make a substantial living; and Kenneth (Erik Moody), an insurance salesman who works, thinks and acts harder than anyone else. Even in the pilot, these characters lives intersect in intriguing and surprising ways.
Challenging the concepts of success" and the American dream, "The Professionals" explores a world where the "plan" no longer works for everyone.
The pilot below offers a tantalizing taste of what this show has in mind. The current plan is to launch a funding campaign both online and "on the ground" in February or March to get the funds to shoot the adapted first season of about 6-10 episodes in the summer of 2015.
Here's your chance to get in on the ground floor and see what folks will be talking about next year. Take a look: "The Professionals."
