The goal of this project is to provide a forum where young adults (people between the ages of 18 and 27) will be given the opportunity to voice their opinions about taboo topics, social issues, and current events. These topics will range from things like money and the cost of education, to sex, drugs, race, family, religion, and everything in between! 

Within each episode there will be a panel consisting of five individuals, ranging in age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, and other factors. The purpose of this is to create a diverse panel that will be able to contribute varying perspectives into the discussion. Moreover, I've chosen to dedicate this show to young adults because I feel that there is no mainstream talk show that gives this particular demographic a chance to voice their opinions about things that are affecting their lives everyday.

Each episode, the panel will be asked to answer a series of questions that relate to one particular topic. So, for example, if the topic of the day is Pop Culture, I may ask something like "Who's your favorite bald celebrity?" And each member of the panel has to answer. Of course, that's a very light-hearted question that I'm sure would spark some very funny and entertaining answers. However, the panel would also be asked more serious questions such as "Why do you think the depression rates are increasing amongst young celebrities?" Even better, why are these rates increasing amongst normal teenagers? My hope is that by addressing issues that are often uncomfortable or taboo to discuss openly and honestly, the show will promote social change in a FUN way. Moreover, it will allow viewers to gain a better understanding of one another and, ultimately, themselves.

I also plan on incorporating fun segments into the show such as special guest interviews, comedy skits, games, viewer participation, and much more.

Unfortunately, creating a web series such as this from scratch isn't as simple as it seems. As you can imagine, there are many tiny details that go into such a project. Although I'm confident that the heart and quality of my show isn't reliant on a huge budget, the reality is that in order for me to create the type of show that I've envisioned, I will need to secure funds for the following things:

1. Legal fees. (Basically, I need to pay a lawyer to give me legal advice on the type of content that can legally be put on the show, as well as different waivers and consent forms for my panel and guests to sign. I'll also need permits to film in different locations, etc.)

2. Props for the set. (Be assured, I have no intention of having a ridiculously decorated set. In fact, I believe that less is always more)

3. Equipment. (As of right now, I will be using my handheld video camera to film the show. Of course, my hope is that eventually I will be able to upgrade the filming equipment so that the show can have better audio and visual quality, as well as better overall production value)

4. Marketing and promotion. (I'd like to turn the show into something BIG. The more people that know it exists, the better. That way, the show can leave a mark and help change our society for the better)
