About this project
"ETC: Employment Through Craigslist" is a comedic webseries written by Richie Moriarty and Matt Catanzano. While looking through the "ETC" section of job postings on Craigslist one day (http://boston.craigslist.org/etc/), Matt and Richie realized that there were enough bizarre, funny, and fascinating postings to inspire an entire series. Each episode of "ETC: Employment Through Craigslist" is based on an actual job posting from the ETC section.
Richie and Matt will star in the series as two roommates who are faced with the reality of crippling gambling debt. In order to pay off their bookie, Matt and Richie search the ETC section of Craigslist for jobs that can make them money quickly.
The series will be shot by Chris Loughran, a talented cinematographer from Boston. Many of Matt and Richie's friends from the improv comedy world in Boston will appear in the series with them. We have a great team assembled and hope you can help us make the series a reality! Thanks so much!
