i made america - overview of transmedia storytelling comedy series
DESCRIPTION
"I Made America" is a transmedia comedy story about six founding fathers who are kidnapped from their own time and brought to 2012 to be used as props in the upcoming election. After discovering the founding fathers disagree politically with everyone now (and one too many practical jokes) they are cut off, leaving them penniless, unemployed, and alone in Chicago. The story follows these six men, the rock stars of their time, fighting to regain their former status when they are 200 years out of place.TRANSCRIPT
