Comedian/writer Chris Mayo is crowdfunding to raise the money to make a web series entitled M.O.T.H.E.R Knows Best with writer, cartoonist and film-maker Scott Kingsnorth.

The ten five minute episodes are set in an Orwellian, dystopian future. A permanently tired and dejected interviewer in a product testing government facility works under the authoritarian matriarch, “M.O.T.H.E.R.”. Each episode sees him testing a new product on a new subject and measuring the results. Eventually existential angst gets the better of him and he starts questioning the machine in which he is a very small cog. . . but with lots of laughs too. 

Mayo has already raised over £1000 but needs more, as he explains: "The £1000 we're asking for is the MINIMUM we need for the series to be made, all our actors and crew will be working for expenses to cover their time very kindly given up to make the show happen. Don't forget, if we don't raise the money, the project doesn't happen at all! If we can get to £2000 we can guarantee everyone involved a daily rate and also cover the costs of extra props and set design. If we can raise £2500 we can pay everyone a better daily rate AND cover the cost of initial marketing via Facebook and Twitter. If we can raise £3000 we'll be able to pay everyone involved well, get all the set, props and costume we need to make the show to a very high quality and market it through Facebook and Twitter so everyone we want to reach can find out about it."
