HELP:
We been making very low budget videos on our laptops, and now we want to make good quality WEB SERIES collaborating with Grandeur Films and young film makers in Melbourne. We want to make 5 episodes and share this Australian Vietnamese story to Australians, and also the WORLD. Anyone can associate to a mother's love for their son…and many rules.

ABOUT:
A Melbourne based comedy theatre show, Phi and Me is an Australian Vietnamese Intergeneration family show about a teenage boy, Phi Nguyen growing up Australian with a Vietnamese mother, Kim Huong Nguyen. The first show was written and performed by Diana Nguyen, Steve McPhail and Fiona Chau in 2011. The idea came after many laughs about our mother's tough love and ridiculousness, and decided LET'S write a show.

2015:
In 2015, Phi and Me Productions will tour Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festival. To coincide with our tour we will be launching our Phi and Me WEB SERIES. And we need your help!!!
REASON: 
Vietnamese Australians have been living in Australia for 35 years, and we are not represented on Australian TV and Films. We believe it time to share the love, and unite all people related or belonging to the Vietnamese community whether from Australia or the WORLD. And many Universal Laughs. We need to do something NOW!

THEATRE SHOWS:
The first comedy show, Phi and Me originated in 2011 at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with Rave reviews from the Melbourne Herald Sun. " 
The second show in 2012, Phi and Me Too won high alcoades with a 4.5 star Herald Sun Review and toured the suburbs.
The third show in 2013, PhiL and Me, was a success with the ABC Comedy department watching the show.



How The Funds Will Be Used

The funds will make our Dreams come true, and all young people who have experienced tough love from their Vietnamese mothers. We will be collaborating with Grandeur Films and up and coming film makers who want experience and a foot in the door.

We will be creating 5 high quality and funny episodes that will be launched in March 2015. 
The money will pay for: Writing, Filming with cameras (Film maker and crew), Editing will take forever because we'll be laughing, Marketing/Promotion and LAUNCH.

Inkind work will be ACTING. We are good at this, and to make this work we have to give our own time to get it done.

The Challenges

We have done theatre and it is hard work.
We know by jumping onto screen it will be harder, and we need as much support to get us there. We want to make a good quality web series that will hook in new audience members, or take back first generation Asian parents of settlement in Australia. Also the funds will help us package the series to Australia's tv channels including Channel 31, ABC and SBS.

Hopefully changing Australian TV, and enriching everyone with the Phi and Me Experience.
