Made by college students, for college students. But it doesn’t stop there — Everyone can relate to wanting or trying to achieve something. We, as people, all have dreams and aspirations that we are striving for, and In the Making highlights this universal longing for success in such a way that anyone (from high schooler to full-blown adult) could relate to.

Q: What will my money be going towards? (Anonymous, 21)

J: Our pilot episode is already under production, so we are currently seeking funding for post production and pre-production for the rest of the season (for a grand total of twelve episodes). 

Q: When will I get to see the show? (Veronica, 20)

J: Our pilot episode takes place during Halloween. Currently, our anticipated release date is: October 28th, 2021.

Q: How have you been working around the pandemic? (JJ, 23) 

J: Though we don't acknowledge COVID-19 in the show, the pandemic is still very real, and a COVID Compliance Officer is required on set. They do very important work both in pre-production and during production. All negative COVID tests must be sent to them prior to even get onto set, and each morning, before entering the location, each person must be temperature scanned and double masked. Throughout each day, you can find our Officer santizating tables, door handles, and indicating certain zones where talent and crew can eat, get their makeup done, and/or lounge. 

Q: What other shows do In the Making compare to? (Bryan, 19)

J: In the Making’s comps include Sex & the City (1998), SMASH (2011), Gossip Girl (2013) and Katy Keene (2021). But, instead of the focus being on sex, relationship drama or fashion - In the Making puts careers at the forefront. Our focus is to accurately depict an early twenty year old, living in New York City, striving to achieve their goals.
