Mission Statement

Everyone's striving for something, even if you're not in college.About The Project
READ ALL ABOUT IT:
Welcome to the scandalous city of New York, New York where dreams are often crushed yet college students still flood the local art schools in hopes of becoming the next big thing. Walters College of the Arts is the most prestigious college in New York for these hopeful artists. Here’s the latest gossip…
Five best friends, all in various entertainment fields, striving to get their foot through the door. So what’s the dilemma? They could’ve never guessed that one of them would exploit the others to reach the top… Will it be Aaron Hale, aspiring journalist by day and part-time bartender by night? Olivia Pearlman, aspiring filmmaker and eventual Best Director winner? Jesse Lance, lead guitarist and frontman of his band, Post? Audrey Montgomery, the fashion obsessed, music manager of Post? Or Carson Aldridge, the aspiring Broadway performer with an undisclosed famous actress for a mother? Stay tuned to find out...
When five best friends are all triyng to make it in the cutthroat entertainment industry, one will have to exploit the others in order to achieve their success.
And so the story begins...
Centering on five college students from diverse backgrounds, In the Making provides exactly what many students have been searching for — reliability. While most shows over-sexualize high school students, In the Making is a representation of real life, and what it’s really like to be studying the arts in New York City!
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.
Now meet the five:
By Jenna Carter ('22, Journalism)
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.
