Going Back to Cali

Since The Parole Board released the teaser video for Life Behind Bars The Series, we've received a lot of inquires about the project.  Many INMATES have asked how they could be a part of the show.  One thing we keep letting everyone know is, assuming we are able to get the funding that we need, we will begin casting calls soon.  Also, the plan is to use original music in the series, so we will be searching for musicians to assist us in writing a soundtrack.

However, before any of that can happen, we will have to raise enough money to fund the project.  Hence our recent campaign on Indeigogo.  If you don't know what I am referring to, click here to watch the teaser video, to learn more about the show concept and to see how you can help http://www.indiegogo.com/lifebehindbars/x/1849014?c=home 

We have set a goal of $50,000 and have given ourselves 88 days to get there.  Already we have received several donations and we are extremely happy.  Of course though, we are a long way from our goal.  But, get this, today we received calls from Fox and from the producers of American Idol and X Factor.  And that's not the first time producers in L.A. have contacted us about the show.  And, just like before, both of these companies were interested in the concept and wanted to learn more.  Can't really tell you how exciting it is that Hollywood wants to know about Life Behind Bars.

Again, we are still at the very beginning of this process, but so far, things are going well.  My plan is to keep you updated each step of the way. Raise your glasses, this is an exciting time for Life Behind Bars and all the INMATES.  

TOAST.

Life Behind Bars The Series

Alright INMATES, I promised you a look at the teaser trailer for Life Behind Bars The Series and here it is.  Below you will find a link to Indiegogo, the website we are using to help raise enough capital to commence the filming of Life Behind Bars The Series.  

In the past, many of you have asked The Parole Board, "What can I do to help Life Behind Bars?"  The INMATES are amazing...constantly volunteering their time to assist LBB's growth.  It's quite remarkable how loyal of a group the INMATES are.  Which is exactly what LBB is all about - uniting the service industry.  And with this project, we hope to do just that.

As you know, despite the generosity of the INMATES, we don't solicit financial donations.  The Parole Board is completely against that. Reminds us of the tactics Robert Tilton, Ed Young and so many other televangelists have used to help fatten their pocketbooks.  They promise you a blessed life in exchange for your hard earned money.  Meanwhile, innocent people are giving their grocery money to the church while the pastors are living lavishly on their Lear Jets   Not our style.  It's complete bullshit and that's not what Life Behind Bars is about.

Rather, we aim to give back to the INMATES through the group page, the events, the insurance fund and so much more.  We love facilitating INMATE connections across the map.  And we enjoy raising money for charities, injured INMATES and for people in need.    I believe that anyone associated with LBB would agree.

All that being said, for the first time, we are asking INMATES for help.  In order to produce Life Behind Bars The Series, we need enough capital to hire the team and get to work.  We are offering incentives to each person that contributes money to the cause.  Even $5 helps.  If you click on the link below, you will be able to read all about the project, what we need and what our goals are.  You will also find more information about the incentives we are offering in exchange for financial donations.  

So, although I can't promise you that your donation will get you that ticket to heaven, I can assure you that your money will be spent on creating Life Behind Bars The Series, a show that will show the world what being an INMATE is all about.  More importantly, your donation guarantees that you will be a fundamental part of the entire process.

Guess Who's Back?

Well, it's been a while.  Too long, some might say.  But please believe that still waters run deep and despite the lack of updates on the Life Behind Bars blog, The Parole Board has been busy.  Actually busy doesn't adequately describe what has been going on behind the scenes.  And that is exactly why this blog needs to be resurrected.

I just left a Parole Board meeting with The Lifer and The Warden and wanted to take a few minutes to let the INMATES know what's on the horizon.  Many of you might be aware that the Life Behind Bars teaser video premiered at the Magnolia Theater recently.  For those of you that aren't in the know, the LBB teaser is a short video that serves as a preview for our upcoming project (below are a few screen shots from the video).

The Parole Board is really excited about the teaser video because we are finally turning a decade long project into a reality.  We have been working on a script for a show about Life Behind Bars for years.    Taking notes during and after bar shifts since the start of the new millennium, the plan from day one has been to create a show that details the lives of INMATES by taking an authentic look into the service industry lifestyle.  The show will feature several unique characters each complete with their own struggles from balancing bartending with working in the corporate world, to dealing with relationship problems, to just trying to make ends meet, all while living one shot at a time.  Life Behind Bars the show will serve as an insider look at life in the service industry and will have an Entourage-esque vibe. 

We are currently putting together the final pieces before we commence our global campaign to raise enough capital to complete the project.  As of now, we have a lot of prospects and many interested investors.  However, before we can go down that path, we have a little more housekeeping matters to attend to.  But, don't fret, we will keep you in the loop and just in case you missed the premiere of the teaser video, you'll get a chance to see it very soon.

Until next time...
