Help us make Season 2 of our original comedy series starring Willie Garson, Patrick Breen & Elisa Donovan. Artmageddon is at hand.

The money raised by this project will go toward production of Season 2 of the acclaimed comedy web series, Whole Day Down. 

Whole Day Down takes a satirical look at contemporary art through the adventures of two misguided art enthusiasts whose attempt to open a gallery initiates the Apocalypse. The series stars the incomparable Willie Garson (Sex and the City, White Collar), Patrick Breen (The Normal Heart) and Elisa Donovan (Clueless).

What can I expect in Season 2? While Season 1 hinted at our apocalyptic theme with supernatural elements, Season 2 will bring on a full-blown apocalypse. And just like Season 1 featured the likes of Shiri Appleby (Chicago Fire,Roswell) and Jon Tenney (The Closer), we will have spectacular guest stars in Season 2 (but not Patricia Wettig). 

The 7 episode season is written and we’re busy in pre-production. So get ready, because Artmageddon is at hand.

If you haven’t seen the show, you can watch all of Whole Day Down Season 1 here: http://wholedaydown.tv

What do I get for my pledge? Starting at just $5, you get a brand new season of Whole Day Down, access to behind the scenes content and unique rewards. Many of our perks involve one of a kind or limited edition art pieces that reflect the theme of our series. All of the art was created for the series by known and up-and-coming artists, including some our very talented cast and crew.

See a piece of art you must have? Pledge. At each reward level, art is first pledge, first pick. All of the art is awesome. We are lucky to have such wonderful artists working with the show.

Where will the money go? Season 2 raises the stakes when it culminates in the Apocalypse. To get there, we will need...

  • To create the original art that drives our stories.
  • To pay our hard working crew.
  • To feed our hard working crew. 
  • Locations, locations, locations. 
  • Special FX. How else can we create the Artpocalypse?
  • Costumes. Even more furries. 
  • Musical Score. You're tapping your feet to the earthly rhythms of an Apocalypso band.
  • Equipment. Lights, Camera, SOUND! So we can capture every painstakingly hilarious moment.  
  • Post-Production. Editorial. Sound mix. Color Correction. Publicity.
  • Not our pockets. The creators and actors do not see a dime. 100% goes into production costs.
