When I pitched my web series, Anxiety Boys, to a bunch of networks, I was super psyched to get some sexy responses from the executives we were pitching to. But after sending to 11 different folks, we got zero follow-up meetings. It was mainly chalked up to the show having 'no star power', which means that it doesn't have any celebrities in it. So we just threw it up on YouTube for free instead. After telling this story to a close friend's mother, she suggested my next project use that term as its title and that made me laugh. So this is that project. And so and yeah!
