Press Release: All My Boyfriend's Girlfriends
All My Boyfriend’s Girlfriends script to came to life on KickStarter,
September 2, 2014 [in] Los Angeles, California. The much anticipated comedy, written by actress and writer Megahn Perry, about the dreaded exes is finally coming to light, thanks to the magic of KickStarter. For years, the script has been optioned by studios and ran through the Hollywood Entertainment gauntlet, eventually to be told that the concept was too “female focused” a few years back. But, thanks to the tidal wave of success from other lady comedians and their stories, and the right partners coming into play to support her mission, she knew that now was the right time to self launch the project that has been years in the making.
The premise of a young lady about to be married that has a... chance encounter with a bevy of all of her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriends is completely "relatable" and wrought with comical fodder (cue the Asian corn hole twins). Megahn performed the script as a critically acclaimed one-woman Comedy Central stage show for years to resounding applause, and knew the project was prime for the big screen.
[Megahn says,] “[She has] never written anything that's had the effect that this script has. People stopped me every night after the stage show and told me how much they related. I'm proud of it. I think it's funny. It still makes me laugh. I'm proud of the attention it garnered, and I couldn't put it away until I gave it one last shot. For better or for worse (all puns intended)...”
She opened up the idea to a few key production partners who, upon reading the script, immediately wanted to join the project: Gary Kohn, Producer, with [more than] fifteen years of experience on both sides of the camera; Lisa Astakhova, Producer, with documented success in T.V. and film, abroad and in the U.S.; and Luc Schurgers, [an] award-winning Director with international success and [a] quirky sense of comedy that directly aligns with the A.M.B.G. [All My Boyfriend's Girlfriends] story.
[Luc says that,] "[He] read Meg’s script, and... couldn't stop laughing... [but] could totally relate to the situations, and was excited about the potential to jump onboard and help make this film. After discussing [his] vision for the movie with Meg, it became apparent that, creatively, [he and Megahn] were in perfect alignment, and we knew [they'd] be a great team to make this hilarious concept become a reality...”
[September 2, 2014 marked] the official launch of the A.M.B.G. campaign, and in [the] true fashion of the film, [it] is offering some pretty hilarious [perks], including:
For five dollars [they] will break up with your soon-to-be-ex for you because, according to the L.A.P.D. and Kickstarter, T.P.-ing [toilet papering] a house is illegal.
For two hundred fifty dollars, [they will arrange] for you and a guest to be one of the first to see A.M.G.B. on the big screen.
For five thousand dollars, you can play an ex in the film
For ten thousand dollars, [you get] your name in the big lights as [an] Executive Producer.
