Logo Television wants to air a music video by me! All I have to do is produce the video. And I want it to be AMAZING. In order to make a great looking, funny video, I need a budget. With your help, I'm going to make a hilarious, polished, TV-ready video for my song "Ben Lerman Plays Ukulele." Listen to it on my ReverbNation profile
Your money will be well spent on a brilliant director, editor, costumes, studio space, lights, rehearsal space, and, possibly, an appearance by Len Berman. Can you imagine the consequences of Len Berman and Ben Lerman meeting in the same room? Explosive. It all adds up quick, and I can't do it without your help. Your money will be going to fund a top-quality video production. And you will be rewarded for your generous donations. At the end of the day, you will have a fantastic music video to look at and tell your friends you helped produce. And beyond that you get some great stuff.
With a $200 pledge, you can commission me to write a funny and sweet song for someone you love. You and your friends can commission me to write a funny song about YOU or someone you love. I'm really really good at it. Seriously, I have references. "The song my friends asked Ben to write for me was the best birthday present I have ever received," Sandra Szahun. I've written songs for birthdays, radio shows, plays, and even a funeral. Long story. But it was a great song, respectful, paid homage to the deceased. And it really brightened up what was otherwise a pretty gloomy day.
Help me get my video on TV while helping yourself to a one-of-a-kind treat: A Ben Lerman song about you or your brother-sister-mother-lover-friend-accountant.
Let's make a video for the TV! TV TV TV!
