The Kickstarter launched by Director/Creator Adam Reid to fund a pilot for an adult animated sci-fi series exceeded it’s goal of $100,000, raising $107,904 in total with 1,753 backers.
The concept, ‘Barry & Joe: The Animated Series,’ follows former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as they travel through time following the advice of Neil deGrasse Tyson, who appears only through mixed reality. The bromantic-comedy takes on Trump and humanity itself as the duo try to right wrongs throughout history and find their way to a brighter future.
Adam Reid, creator/director of ‘Barry & Joe: The Animated Series,’ had this to say:
The true grassroots support for this project has exploded my nerdy heart. Now the real work begins. To make something that’s as smart, fun, brain melting and hopeful as the Kickstarter campaign promised. I could not be more excited to build the team and find the right home for this series.
