Sex, love, free drinks - Charlie Cooke is all about getting people what they want. Unfortunately, most people don't know what that is.


We've moved!

We want you to come too!  Our crowdfunding campaign has moved to www.indiegogo.com/getluckybklyn.  Unlike Kickstarter, IndieGoGo enables us to receive funding whether or not we make our goal.  But we still need your help!  Check out the page, pledge what you can, and most of all, SHARE it with your friends and family!  Thank you so much for your ongoing support.  We are lucky to have it.

GET LUCKY is a new web series about love, dating, and other forms of torture.  Set in Brooklyn, NY, GET LUCKY will feature an extremely talented cast, native BK bands and brands, locations and venues.

Check out our SPEED-DATING promo here: http://vimeo.com/getluckybklyn/speeddating

Synopsis:

Sex, love, free drinks - Charlie Cooke is all about helping people get what they want.  Unfortunately, most people don't know what that is.  And once they get it, they don't know how to keep it.  Dating is hard because people are difficult.  But we fall in love anyway.  Who knows, you might get lucky.

Charlie runs Romanticism, Ltd., a small Brooklyn dating service, with the help of his former college roommate, Evan. Evan's long-term girlfriend Emily isn't Charlie's biggest fan. Tensions mount as Sam, Charlie's intriguing new assistant, joins the team, to the chagrin of Isabel, who has taken quite a shine to Charlie.

The Campaign:

How will we use the funds we raise throughout our campaign?  The first season consists of six episodes, which we'll have to shoot and edit before they can air on Blip TV, YouTube, Vimeo, and other online video hosts.  The money we raise will be used for equipment rentals, production design, insurance, transportation, locations, feeding the cast and crew, post-production and marketing.  

As you may know, we have to meet or exceed our Kickstarter fundraising goal by the deadline, or we get nothing.  So if you like what you see, please donate what you can, and share/tweet/facebook/blog the video with anyone you think may be interested!  We truly cannot do it without your help. 

As our campaign unfolds, we will continue to bring you updates, behind the scenes footage, audition outtakes, scouting reports and more.   We’re passionate and positive about this project, and we hope you will be too! 

Sponsors:

Thank you to all of our generous sponsors already on board.  Anyone interested in having their products, music, venue or business featured in the series is welcome to contact us!

We truly appreciate everyone’s support, and we look forward to having you with us on this fantastic journey.

With Love,

The Get Lucky Team

Written and Directed by Rachel Anne Whelan, Produced by Kimberly Loren Mulvaney and Kelly McGee, and Shot by Che Broadnax
