Update #7: Official Trailer Just Launched!

Posted on March 8

Hello, New Recruits!

Yesterday we launched our official Season 1 trailer, and we couldn't be more excited to show it to you! This entire process has been completely amazing and has gone so much more smoothly than we could have ever imagined, and it's all because of YOU!

We also just launched our shiny new website! Be sure to check it out!

Our official release date of episode one is set for APRIL 4th. We hope to see you there in the comments section of our video when we kick off the start of this season!

See you on the other side,

The Job Hunters Team

Update #6: Teaser Trailer now available!

Posted on February 22

Hello lovely Kickstarter backers and fans!

We here at Job Hunters thought you'd like to be among the first to know that we've just launched our very first teaser trailer for the series:

We're all very excited to finally be sharing this little snippet of what we've been working on with you - and I promise, this is only the beginning. Keep an eye out for more Job Hunters news via our twitter and facebook, and we'll see you when we launch Episode 1 in early April!

Until next time,

JOB HUNTERS

Update #5: Big huge thank you!

Posted on January 5
Hello, awesome Job Hunters fans!

We really should have done this final update sooner, but we've been so busy casting, writing, and getting ourselves waist-deep in pre-production for the show that we've almost forgotten about... everything else! Sorry about that!

BUT - this project wouldn't be possible without the generosity of you guys, so it was time to come by and tell you so. 

Thank you to everyone who donated to our project, especially those of you who came to hang out with us at our Live Show event on December 22nd. We raised nearly $2,000 additional dollars in the final hours of the fundraiser; we laughed, we cried - we even got Forest to put on girl clothes. It was a blast, and for those of you who missed it, there are recorded segments on our BlogTV channel (http://www.blogtv.com/people/jobhunters) as well as screencaps on this lovely fan tumblr that was made during the show (http://jobhuntersliveshow.tumblr.com/).

We hit the bonus incentive mark for hosting a local donor party, so if you live in or around the Seattle area, keep an eye out for announcements about that in the future. We haven't decided when it's going to be yet, but we'll be posting that information in the coming months.

A few of you have been asking if there is a way to continue donating even though the Kickstarter Campaign has ended, and the answer is yes! Feel free to send additional donations to our PayPal account (watchjobhunters@gmail.com). You guys are the best!

We have a lot of work to do ahead of us, but thanks to this Kickstarter Campaign, we've got quite the running start. Thanks again for all your support, and we'll talk to you all soon.

Update #4: 9 days left UPDATE!

Posted on December 12

Hello Kickstarter friends and fans!

There are 9 days left in our campaign and we have some exciting news for you!

First of all, we'd like to let you know that we have some new incentives we're announcing today for further goals we'd like to reach with our fundraising. These will be listed on the homepage of our campaign, but we wanted to explain them a bit more in depth here for you first!

$14,000 - Local Donor Party hosted by Job Hunters cast and crew. If we reach this amount of money, we'll be throwing a special party here in Seattle for all local donors to come hang out, meet the cast and crew, and have a good old time together Job Hunters style.

$16,000 - Season One Music Video. If we reach this amount of money, we'll be filming a "Do You Want To Date My Avatar" style music video to supplement the first Season of Job Hunters. We can guarantee silly lyrics and dancing, that's for sure!

$18,000 - Out of State Donor Party at a popular convention. If we reach this amount of money, we'll be flying to a popular convention a little further from home to throw a donor party for our out-of-state fans. Location tba but could include Chicago, California, NY, etc.

$20,000 - Behind the Scenes Documentary. If we reach this amount of money, we will hire additional crew members to create an in depth and professional looking Behind the Scenes documentary of the filming of Season One. Guaranteed to include bloopers. ;)

We hope you'll continue to help us out, whether it's by donating yourself, spreading the word about the project, or tweeting or facebooking it to your friends and family. 

And, even more excitingly, we hope you'll join us on December 21st for our 6-hour LIVE SHOW to end the Kickstarter with a BANG! We'll be live from 4pm-10pm Pacific, doing all sort of crazy stunts to keep you entertained while we count down the minutes to the end of our fundraiser.

Information about the live show is here: http://www.facebook.com/events/129263597187540/

We hope to see you there!

Update #3: 100% of the way there!

Posted on December 5

Holy crap, guys. Seriously. We have 16 days left in this campaign, and we've already reached our $10,000 goal with flying colors. None of us expected this to happen so quickly! It's incredibly exciting, and this update post is mostly a big huge "thank you" to those who have already pledged. Beyond raising the money we need to make this project a reality, the four of us are so pleased to see how many people are enthusiastic about the idea as a whole. The response on twitter, facebook, youtube and here on Kickstarter has been overwhelmingly positive and we couldn't be happier.

By the way, I didn't even get a chance to WRITE a 75% post! That's how insane the last few days have been for us!

We'd like to send a big public shout-out and thank you to Lucas Diercouff for pledging at the $2,500 level and becoming the project's official "Sugar Daddy". I got a phone call at 7:30 in the morning today from co-creator Liz Leo who noticed the pledge first - I will say this was one of the few times I didn't mind being woken up that early. A million thanks from all of us.

The awesome part is; the more money we raise, the bigger and better this web series will be! We have a few more awesome incentives up our sleeves for things we plan on doing/creating if we reach larger goals past our initial $10,000 cap, but for today, we just want to say 'thank you' and sit back and revel in how far we've come. Look out for the additions to the incentive list in the next few days.

Job Hunters is a comedic web series about roommates set in a dystopian society.
After college, people must fight in an arena from 9am-5pm daily in order to be properly placed into a career. Job Hunters focuses on one “rag-tag group” of hunters during their down time, spent in a government sanctioned safe house. Yes, there will be blood. And roommate issues.
