Meet Jesus Johnson.

His run-of-the-mill life is bringing him down.

He spends his morning on hold with the cable company, all afternoon fixing a leaky sink, and evening in front of the tube with a bagful of puffy snacks, when a surprise drop-in from an unexpected guest threatens to throw his entire life into disarray.

Become a part of “Slum Lord!”

Some of you may be aware of my most recent project, Slum Lord.

For those not already apprised, it is an independent, single-camera comedy series about a Minneapolis landlord who looks like—and happens to be named—Jesus.

Jesus Johnson, played by Daniel Ettedgui

We’ll begin shooting in the Spring, and airing episodes in the Fall—provided we can meet our Kickstarter goal of $5,000 by the new year.

That’s where you come in. Every contributor to Slum Lord gets the opportunity to extra in an episode, and we’ve included loads of other rewards for backers: stickers, t-shirts, downloads—even Associate and Executive Producer credits!

We’d love for you to get involved with our little show. Please give whatever you can.  (Pledges make great gifts!)

Visit the Slum Lord Kickstarter page to watch a preview pilot, make a contribution, and become a part of this exciting new local production.

Hey everybody! Help support our little would-be web series “Slum Lord” on Kickstarter! It’s a single-camera style comedy about a Minneapolis landlord and his tenants.

And the landlord’s Jesus! Except he’s not that Jesus, or… well… watch the preview pilot above, and then head over to our Kickstarter page and help make two six-episode seasons of this thing; at even just the one-dollar level, you can become a part of the production! We’d love to have you involved.

We want to make our show one the Twin Cities can be proud to call its own, and for that, we’ll need the Twin Cities’ support. So please, if you can, contribute whatever amount you can.

And be sure to send our link to anyone you think might be interested: Reblog, retweet, shout it on the streetcorners: Let people know all about Slum Lord. Spread the word.

Slum Lord: A Comedy of The Highest Order

So, tonight I’m launching a Kickstarter and premiering the preview pilot for Slum Lord—the single-camera comedy I’ve been flogging for the last few months and change.

I’d love it if you could be there. I even booked all the best bands in town just to coerce you into coming: UMAMI, MAYDA, VAGUE-À-BONDE, and THEEVES. So… it’s going to be legit.

SLUM LORD

If you can’t be there, that’s alright. I still love you…
…so long’s you check it out on Kickstarter tomorrow.
