About this project

This project has been changed to a NEW campaign, for a better way for us to reach our funding goal... Please note that current backers of this project will NOT be charged for their past pledges to this campaign, but are welcome to make a pledge at the new campaign located here:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/DouglasPritchard/ms-molas-make-ola-a-fun-tv-show-for-kids

We still need your support! If every one who pledged visits the new link above and pledges the same amount, the campaign can be funded in just over three weeks, and filming on the next episode of "Ms. Mola's Make-ola!" will be a reality!

Thanks so much to all the backers who pledged to the original campaign! You are all awesome! Please see our updates tab above for a personal message of thanks from Molly Conole... Please visit the link above - This time, we CAN do it with our new "Plan B Campaign" strategy!

Here's the info from the original campaign:

Why We Need Your Help

Do you think kids today spend too much time blobbing out on the couch watching mindless TV shows that don't inspire them? Would you rather they see a TV program that encourages them to be active and actually create things themselves? Then this is the cause for you!

Think about it - in today's economy, the demand for ever-shrinking funds for educational programming is severe. Foundational support is scarcer, too. And that's why so many of today's TV shows are merchandise driven with little or no social value... which is why we created a show about being creative with recycled materials! But let's face it, that kind of show is tough to finance, which is why we need your help.

This is your chance to support television programming you believe in for the sake of the kids you care about. Please contribute any amount that suits your budget, and in exchange you'll be able to receive some cool incentives like CDs, DVDs and fan gear from the show - check out what we have available in the margin on the right side of this page.

A Very Cool Kid's Show

We at Cadenza Entertainment, are proud to help back this exciting new kid's TV show called...

This fun-filled and visionary children's program features show creator Molly Conole as "Ms. Mola" along with fun characters, animation, puppets, original songs, music and more... all interacting with kids to inspire them to be creative and think green!

With messages like "Trash is Treasure" and original songs like "Plan B" and "Clean-It-Up" the half hour program showcases kids making their own cool projects that they design and choose for themselves. This inspires the kids on the show and those watching at home HOW to be creative and use their imaginations... while also showing kids the benefits of recycling and reusing things they might otherwise throw away.

That's Show Buzz

The pilot episode of "Ms. Mola's Make-ola!" is currently airing on PBS stations in Florida... it's already reached several million households - that's a big bunch of kids experiencing the show! The audience response has been awesome, so we've got an incredible head start! We also released a DVD of the Pilot accompanied with footage from our "VIP Premiere."

The DVD has lots of other "Behind the Scenes" and "Special Features," and even won us a 2008 Telly Industry award!

Also, this just in... PBS KIDS GO! has awarded us a Web Game Development Grant for us to design an online video game based on the recycling theme and characters from the show... How super cool is that?!?

Our Vision for the Show

Our whole team is working very hard to make this show a reality and available to kids everywhere, and to have it broadcast nationally - we eventually plan to have it on around the globe in additional languages so we can say "Hello! Hola! Guten Tag! Bon Jour!" ...and encourage creativity in kids everywhere!

Now, a year and a half into that process we have gotten some great news: we've been asked by our presenting station WDSC (PBS Channel 15 in FL) to produce as many episodes as we can deliver to put on the air - Wow! that's incredible news! But here's where we need your help...

OK, Here's The Plan...

At this point, our game plan is to produce 12 more episodes of the show this year. That would give us an industry-standard number of programs for broadcast, which we will also release on DVD for sale and rental.

This Kickstarter campaign will give us the funds for at least three more episodes, with a possibility of even more shows from other donations from local underwriting efforts. Remember, we already have our pilot episode on the air, so think of this fundraising effort as going towards "Volume One of Four"... Three episodes produced per volume for a total of 12 episodes (13 including the Pilot episode) and YOU get to be part of the process EVERY step of the way... the more episodes we can produce, the faster we may become a nationally televised show!

Our donations from this kickstarter campaign will go towards hiring actors & crew, and for studio & gear rental. We need to lease a bigger studio now for all the child actors and new characters! Then there are costs of pre-production, principal photography, post production, animation and music expenses...

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs...

A lot goes into a program like this: a show creator, director, producers, writers, actors, camera and lighting folks, sound people, artists, teachers, and office staff... we even employ live musicians recorded in an actual recording studio for the soundtracks!

Come to think of it, with all the talented folks we are hiring, we will be employing between 35 to 50 people over the next few months... And YOU will have helped make all those jobs happen!

If you believe in the positive difference children's television and environmental education makes in kids' lives, then please help us with our TV show's mission today by choosing a donation at the right side of your screen...

And now for the Goodies!

For your pledges, we have some really cool rewards too - like signed CDs of the PILOT soundtrack and Special Edition DVD's of the pilot episode, plus DVD's of the brand new upcoming shows, "Make-ola! Crew" hats and t-shirts, and lots of other "Make-ola!" promo gear, plus rare, signed and limited show collectibles like photos, scripts, plush toy props and more...

You can also get a credit as a producer or underwriter in the show credits and a snazzy, VIP ALL ACCESS Pass to the upcoming local premiere and Q+A of the next three episodes, or even an exclusive invite to the VIP reception afterwards... Whoah.

A Whole New Season


New Characters

Exciting new characters are being introduced to the show over the next few episodes including "Reese on his Cycle" who delivers interesting items he's found so the kids can make cool stuff, and "Miss Teree" who travels the planet uncovering mysterious facts about people and places who are helping the enviroment. Hmmm...

Power to the Puppets

And who is the strange and cranky puppet character known as "No Mola?" Will she ever learn about why it's so important to recycle? Well, the kids and "Ms. Mola" will help her, of course!

All New Animation

Meet "The Recyc-olas!" This new line of adorable characters is made completely from 100 percent recycled materials, and will be the stars in the upcoming "PBS Kids GO!" web game "We Can Waste Wise" as well as future episodes of the show!

To see more about new characters and episodes, click on our our updates link above - some of the updates are for "Backers Only", but you can access them with any size pledge at the right...

Thank you Fans and Friends!

The whole team at "Ms. Mola's Make-ola!" really appreciates our new fans and friends here on Kickstarter!
