Short Term Season 2

As of today, season one of Short Term has finally been released. All six episodes are now online at www.shortterm.tv. The thing is, just because all six episodes are online, doesn't mean that season one is over, in fact one could argue that it's just beginning. 

I want to take a moment to thank our brilliant cast and our small but mighty crew for all they did to make season one possible. I specifically want to thank the lovely Heather Horton, the other half of the Short Term brain trust. This was a stellar team, and projects like this cannot succeed without these kinds of people. Now on to business…

Short Term needs your help! That’s right, you. The thing about a web series, you don’t get lead-ins or network advertising to promote your show. Instead, we must rely on you, the folks who watch and enjoy our project. We need for you to tell your friends and family to take a look. Then, we need for you to have their friends and family take a look and so on. Your word of mouth is our best marketing tool, and if you would just ell one person about the show, that would help more than anything else.

However, if you’d like to do more, there’s that option as well. Currently, we are gearing up for season two and look to start production early this summer. For that production, we are looking for donations and sponsorship. If you’d like to help Short Term and want to contribute, below is a link to our Indie Go-Go page. If you’d like to make a donation, even if it’s just a dollar, we would welcome all who’d like to help. Just so you know, if you do donate, it’ll not be without reward. Depending on how much you decide to contribute, the rewards can vary from a phone call from a cast member, to a signed season one poster. There’s even an opportunity to earn an executive producer credit on the series. Regardless of whether or not you can give, check the page out. There’s some really cool stuff on there.

In closing, I want to thank the cast, the crew and the fans for everything over the past few weeks and months. You never know when you start something like this how it will turn out, but I think we’ve got something here, and with your help, season two will be that much better. In the end, this all about the people who watch… the fans and without all of you, this series would never have been made. And for that, take pride in your series, because it is just that… Yours.
