"Gym Shorts" is an original, single camera, parody style, comedy series,
with a smart and witty tone, relatable and accessible to anyone who has ever walked into a gym and owns a smart phone or has internet at home.
This is a multi nominated, award winning web series about the quirks and qualities of gym life.
Think "The Office" meets "Friends", but in the gym ... AND sexier!
BEASTING IT UP
We are looking at a budget of $100,000 dollars to complete the 1st Season, containing 13, 20-25 minutes long episodes.
That will allow the production to schedule between 25 to 30 production days and hire over 150 local Florida residents under this production.
BRO SCIENCE
Taking place at the local gym U*Ran*Us Fitness (pronounced uranus), discover a world of colorful, relatable characters who bond together through their
desires, unchecked expectations and the deeper meaning of life and lack of reality you can only find in the gym.
(who are we kidding... it's basically a web series about all the crazy, beautiful people you meet in the gym!)
TAG YOUR IT!
(BUT THIS IS OUR LOG LINE)
Kevin (newbie), a recent divorcee, going through a mid life crisis, seeks a change in his mundane life and meets Chad (douche bag), the well meaning yet clueless trainer of U*Ran*Us Fitness. Kevin is forced into a gym world he doesn't yet understand and a whole host of characters that he doesn't quite fit in with. In the pilot episodes, you will already get introduced to the; gym princess, gym stalker, gym boss, gym bunny, gym influencer, butt guy, hot gym guy and the gym's resident naked old man.
(Sounds funny, right!)
PRE WORKOUT
Highlights: We have filmed the first 2 pilot episodes in 4K and
since Day 1, "Gym Shorts" has strived for success. We cast talented (and hot) actors, we hired great a photographer for our photoshoots, we created a catchy theme song, with an award winning composer and sung by an amazing award winning vocalist.
We hit all of our preliminary timeline goals: hiring a talented and experienced production crew; a line producer, DP, editor, sound engineer. Securing a location, organizing a production plan and budget, and nailing down film dates with cast and crew. We then moved on to accomplishing all of our "big picture" goals to this point, starting with writing our outline for more episodes and development for a whole season. All the while, learning from what didn't work and what could be even better!
VASCULAR
Mission: "Gym Shorts" episodes are currently streaming on Amazon Video Direct and we are working on making "Gym Shorts" a SAG project. Raising the money through investors and sponsors will keep us being able to flood the world with joy and laughter while promoting the Sunshine state and its talent.

SWOLLEN
Expected Reach: At a minimum, we expect to exceed the average viewership of a "Branded Web Series" of 225,000 views, on each episode from Season 1, during its distribution stages. "Gym Shorts" has an extremely relatable topic, a great crew and cast of talented Florida residents and a dedicated, motivated, ambitious production team... with this all in place, we have no doubt, we will end with 2 million views by the end of the season. Viewership increasing exponentially with every additional media platform.
Bottom line, "Gym Shorts" IS going to be a success. The question is... how do you want to be part of that success.

TV Ratings are on the decline, especially among young people, some of whom don’t even own televisions.
National TV ad sales peaked in 2016, when they exceeded $43 billion, according to data from Magna, the ad-buying and media intelligence arm of IPG Mediabrands. Sales fell 2.2 percent last year, and the firm estimates that they will fall at least 2 percent each year through 2022.
Some of the decline could be mitigated through new business with platforms like Amazon, Hulu, YouTube and Facebook.
The hottest shows on TV networks which command the highest ad prices are attracting older viewers, which is a challenge for brands that want to reach millennials and teens. For instance, this season’s top-rated show, the revival of the "Rosanne" show, has a median viewer age of 52.9 years. The network show with the lowest median age is “Riverdale” on the CW, at 37.2.
Google’s YouTube, on the other hand, is wildly popular with much younger viewers. And the brands are so eager to reach those viewers that they have been willing to continue advertising on YouTube
As TV ad spending has begun to drop, marketers have been diverting more money to tech giants like Google and Facebook, which have increasingly focused on expanding their video and video ad business.
Old Navy has long been a prominent TV advertiser, and television remains crucial to the company’s marketing. But the way Old Navy defines TV advertising has evolved, said Jamie Gersch, its chief marketing officer.
“When we say we buy TV, even within that, a percent of that buy is in the digital video space and is on platforms like Hulu and Google Preferred and programmatic buying and Facebook,” she said. The company is focusing on figuring out where customers might see its content, whether that’s on traditional TV or “digital TV". Ms. Gersch said that on traditional TV, the company has been talking to networks about product integrations in TV shows, similar to Procter & Gamble’s deal, where the company was written into the plot of the ABC show “Black-ish.”
Social media views have been increasing steadily every year. As of 2018, there are 3.196 billion people using social media on the planet, up 13% from 2017 to 2018.
American adults spend over 11 hours per day listening to, watching, reading or generally interacting with online media AND
30% of North American smartphone owners now watch full-length TV shows on their smartphones.
50% of US customers say user-generated content images and video from satisfied buyers makes them more likely to buy a product from a brand’s social media channels.
Facebook users had surpassed one billion, making it the first social network ever to do so.
Youtube is now the world’s 2nd biggest search engine for more than 1,8 billion people registered on the site to check it daily to watch 5 billion videos.
eMarketter predicts that Instagram will earn $5.5 billion in ad revenue in 2018, claiming 5% of the US digital ad market.
There are currently NO gym themed major network sitcom styled shows. With a media full of successful parody style sitcoms, there is no more relatable, universal world wide theme than ... the GYM!
This is an untapped market ... TIME TO TAP IN!
Amazon Prime Video, occupies the second position in the growing video on demand industry, with around 26 million subscribers in the United States. As the market expands and demand increases, companies have begun to produce their own original content. Amazon produced 23 new digital original series in 2017 alone.
A younger demographics seem to be the most frequent viewers of Amazon’s video content. Around 23 percent of video-on-demand users from the 18-29 age bracket stated that they viewed Amazon’s content at least once per day.
Nearly 100 million people subscribed to Amazon Prime in the U.S. as of June 2018. Amazon also has an established brand outside of the United States, meaning that it is easier for the company to expand to global markets. As of the second quarter of 2017, an estimated 20 percent of internet users worldwide used Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon is the leading online retailer in the United States with almost 178 billion U.S. dollars in 2017 net sales and is one of the most popular multi-platform web properties in the United States in December 2018, with 206.1 million visitors.
