Nothing Without a Company and Kentalago Productions are proud to announce The Real Deal:, an absurd romp through Chicago following the lives of best friends Molly and Libbytwo creative women who don't adhere to convention or back down from any challenge when it comes to expressing who they are inside. They immerse themselves in the cultural and natural riches of Chicago to provoke joy and wonder in the everyday and to provide positive portrayals of women in media. There's not much these gals won't do "for real."
The Real Deal:: Women in the Arts
The Real Deal: was created by women about women: creators, Libby Conkle & Molly Fisher, began this series as web-episodes in March of 2014. Resourcefully, they filmed and edited fifteen webisodes on their smartphones, but now the project has moved to the next level. With a female-led production and writing team, The Real Deal is expanding its Girl Power voice by bringing quality entertainment with positive messages through a fully realized web series! In the summer, The Real Deal will reach beyond the computer-screen by leading workshops dedicated to uplifting the next generation of artists by empowering youth to explore their real, creative selves. Dates are to be announced.
New Territory
Nothing Without a Company is planting theatre around Chicago with all forms of media to empower self and community through immersive and revolutionary acts of art in site-specific and reclaimed environments. THE REAL DEAL is the company's first venture in web-series through this collaboration with Kentalago Productions. Kentalago believes that Chicago could use more narrative film productions that are based out of resident talent sources in the store-front theatre community. The company dedicated itself to encourage theatre companies to integrate film-work into their seasons to expand possibility, and a company to gain more experience in that venture. Partnering with Nothing Without a Company to produce THE REAL DEAL has helped both companies expand their possibilities and experiences by providing an opportunity to explore beyond their norms.
Paying Artists
The Real Deal and its producers have also launched an IndieGoGo Campaign to raise $5,500 to pay for 1st season production expenses, pay collaborating artists at a competitive rate, and continue funding for future seasons.
