A Mainstream Comedy about a Permaculturing Family

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/positiverealfutures/an-actually-fun-tv-show-about-a-future-with-real-hope?ref=project_build

An unusual family with many elements serving a single function raises a kid between 2025 and 2042. When they are not arguing about parenting approaches, whose turn it actually is to do the dishes, or whether overpopulation or overconsumption is a larger problem, they’re arguing about whether a rocket mass heater could possibly be carbon negative.  (spoiler—it can, but not in the season one.).

This story asks how far a family would go to protect their child from the problems encroaching on us all around, and become the kind of parents they want to see in the world. An all-American underdog story of responsibility, reinvention, and family.

The kickstarter description is more generic to communicate to a broader audience, but trust me, they find their way into permaculture—and never find their way out again.

I will be most grateful for your support, especially on day one, March 22, since early donation signal to others that this is a viable project.  Thanks for considering it.

Well, the question we get asked most frequently is who’s gonna take care of you when you’re old?

I heard that.

With abundant funding, we could conduct sufficient research with the Sabido methodology, to ensure a highly viral show and maximize support for belief and behavior change.

“They didn’t get that right!”: What’s a moment in a TV show that frustrated you recently?

And what would you really love to see portrayed accurately in a drama or sitcom?

I’m not promising that I’m going to be able to incorporate everyone’s requests into the show, but this is a we project, not a me project.  

If you don’t feel like blabbing about your thoughts in public here,you’re welcome to send me an email (assuming kickstarter allows this)—inspiringtutorboston at gmail dot com.

Thank you everyone who has pledged money to support this project, and everyone who has shared it with other people. We don’t have big money on our side, but we do have people.
