Stewart, Miles, don't sue me (I'm broke)

I was just wondering. As some of the long time members know, I've been working on a feature film for a number of years. A dark religious themed film. Anyways, the screenplay is done, and perfect I might add. I also have half the funds needed for the project. Now it looks like I might get a reality show on local cable, 13 episodes on trying to make the project a reality.

The series will follow me and the crew as we try and do a theatrical production of a non related comedy to help raise funds for the project. Still determining the show, but a farce called In One Bed, And Out The Other shows promise. It's hysterical, trust me. The series will go through all the details, auditions, casting, set design, etc.

I need sub plots, and they have to be very funny. Of course, the best subplot is a Police related one. I have this scene scripted out, yes, my reality show is scripted to death. In the opener I talk about how wrong it is to try and use social media to influence people into what they like. I beat that to death for a minute before I remove my hoodie, showing what else, a Police tee shirt. I then walk around the house and the camera shows every Police item I own, while I go on with my diatribe. The funniest part is when the camera focuses in on my tv. It's muted, but the Syncronicity concert is playing (Message In A Bottle) You know that part where it flashes Sting, Stewart and Andy. I have that slowed down, and I say... It's not about the greatest songwriter in the world (Sting) the greatest guitarist (Andy) or the greatest drummer known to mankind (one second clip of animal from the muppets, a fight, then Stewart, I win!)

The entire series will be full of Police jokes, and by that I mean, me wearing tour shirts, begging Miles to call for advice, etc. Oh, and we also have a hate KISS theme. Tell Gene I'm sorry, but my best friend is as nuts about KISS as I am about The Police. It will be funny when I say, I wanna play this note all night, and sing this same line all day. I might get punked back with sending out an sos though.

If it's ok, let me know.Thanks
