AMERICAN
ASSHOLE
A crowdfunding campaign, a million dollars, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
A sharp contemporary satire that lovingly confronts the raucous realities of Hollywood, the internet, and the media.
Working to live or living to work? How about neither?
As an office worker wallowing in a mediocre middle class existence, I’m giving you the opportunity to give me the opportunity of a better one.
If you’re asking how this is possible and wondering how you can help, ask and wonder no longer. I come bearing answers. My goal is to crowdfund $1,000,000. And all I ask of you is a donation of $2 or more.
Donate to me today so I can live the life you wish you were living tomorrow.
My name is River Conway and I approve this message.
— River Conway, “Save an A$$hole”
River Conway grew up believing a lie, the lie that you can be anything you want to be as long as you put your mind to it. After losing his twenties to an office cubicle in the middle of nowhere, River reaches breaking point and launches a self-aware crowdfunding campaign asking for one million dollars, embarking on a journey that has him ricocheting between the sublime and the ridiculous.
“Adam has written a wickedly funny, timely satire, full of piercing jabs at Hollywood and crystal-clear characterizations of brain-dead, disingenuous LA denizens.”
“Adam’s tight prose and perfect timing make the story as a whole both playful and gratifying.”
Donate to me today so I can live the life you wish you were living tomorrow.
