Mergers & Inquisitions, the world’s leading website on investment banking, with nearly 100,000 email subscribers and 500,000 monthly visitors, has partnered with Goldie Chan (OTAKU: THE SERIES) and Allison Vanore (LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS, ANYONE BUT ME) to launch COST OF CAPITAL beginning in September on YouTube with the tantalizing trailer launching today.
an Original Series On Behind-the-Scenes Intrigue in the World of Private Equity and Investment Banking – and What Billionaire Investors Do for Fun
LOS ANGELES, August 20, 2012
Mergers & Inquisitions, the world’s leading website on investment banking, with nearly 100,000 email subscribers and 500,000 monthly visitors, has partnered with Goldie Chan (OTAKU: THE SERIES) and Allison Vanore (LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS, ANYONE BUT ME) to launch COST OF CAPITAL beginning in September on YouTube with the tantalizing trailer launching today.
It’s “Wall Street meets The Social Network,” and represents a rare, behind-the-scenes look into the shadowy world of billionaire investors – where egos and intrigue collide and a single deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars must get done at any cost.
The six-episode dramatic arc is penned by Brian DeChesare, Founder and Executive Editor of Mergers & Inquisitions, who described the project as “a dramatic version of all the stories I’ve seen in real life in the world of finance.”
It will be directed by Jorge Urbina, experienced DP and Director on WHOLE DAY DOWN and co-DP on THE STOOGES Webseries created by Natan Moss and Lee Sacks. He recently wrapped working on the LOVE IN THE TIME OF MONSTERS horror feature film with fellow COST OF CAPITAL Producer Allison Vanore.
Mergers & Inquisitions is followed by hundreds of thousands of aspiring and current financiers and investors who have been eagerly awaiting the release of the show. This marks the first dramatic series that Mr. DeChesare has written but he’s certainly no stranger to serialized television. “I’m a huge fan of almost every popular serialized TV show of the past decade, and getting to write this was a dream come true,” he stated.
Executive Producer and Showrunner Goldie Chan is equally excited to be working on a project with Mr. DeChesare, mentioning “We’ve been throwing around this idea of a dramatic series that focused on the humanity of investment bankers after the Occupy Wall Street movement and it’s been interesting to see the initial response. People have very strong opinions about the world of finance.”
“I'm thrilled to be a part of COST OF CAPITAL, a dramatic series that has an intriguing story to tell and a waiting audience! It's not often you get to produce a webseries for an audience who can't wait to watch.” says Producer Allison Vanore, who has worked on several award-winning webseries over the years, like SOLO: THE SERIES and ANYONE BUT ME.
COST OF CAPITAL is a marked departure from the normal comedy fare on YouTube, but those living in the world of finance hope that it stays around for a while… if only to compare their bonus numbers to what the protagonist of the series earns.

Last month I flew to New York to produce the finale episode of Anyone But Me (running over 20 minutes in length) with the core cast and a lot of the same crew who has been with the show from the beginning, four years ago.
Over the last year I've had the pleasure of working with Susan Miller and Tina Cesa Ward twice on their award-winning webseries, Anyone But Me. Last month I flew to New York to produce the finale episode of the show (running over 20 minutes in length) with the core cast and a lot of the same crew who has been with the show from the beginning, four years ago.
The finale production was both exciting and sentimental. With half of the cast and myself arriving from Los Angeles it felt like a reunion. At the same time it was bittersweet. We all knew that after those three amazing days of shooting the last bit of the show would be in the can. Luckily, we were able to make the final scene of the finale the final scene we shot. I'm not going to lie, there were tears. But there wasn't a better place to shed those tears than sunset at Battery Park, the place where the show began, down the street from the World Trade Center (now the Freedom Tower) and with a fantastic view of the Statue of Liberty.
So take a moment to check out the series (if you haven't already) and then enjoy the final installment of the show that has changed lives around the world. Thank you, Tina and Susan, for allowing me to be a part of this show.
Just when our Los Angeles festival run is blowing up, Hopelessly in June receives an invitation to the Garden State Film Festival in Asbury Park, NJ. In addition, our short film, A Boy's Life is set to screen! I'm inviting all of our NJ friends and family to join us for the screenings and festivities. The festival runs March 22 - March 25, 2012.
Last year I attended the festival with short film, Purgatory, Inc., and I really enjoyed the festival, community support and the films I watched. I look forward to another great festival!
A Boy's Life
March 24 at 9pm
Through his father's military absence, a withdrawn and imaginative boy (Private Practice’s Griffin Gluck) attempts to prove to his coping mother (Christie Lynn Smith) that the monster beneath his bed is real.
Dating in Los Angeles has been cruel to Daleon Myers, a financial analyst from a staunch Baptist family. But hope emerges when he falls in love with June Flowers, a successful businesswoman whose family is an extremely liberal Hollywood couple. It will take a lot to help them overcome their cultural differences and find the love they both have so long desired. Starring Carolyn Neff (Spiderman 3), Vincent Brantley, Ed Asner (Up), Peter Jason (Deadwood), Stuart Pankin (Dinosaurs), Ella Joyce (Stranger Inside), Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr. (The Dark Knight), and Keith David (There's Something About Mary).
Hopelessly In June screens Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 8pm immediately following the Opening Reception at the Reading Gaslamp 15 located at 701 5th Ave. San Diego, CA 92101.
In the past six months Hopelessly In June has screened at three Los Angeles area film festivals (Dances With Films, Temecula Valley International, and Hollywood Film Festival) to packed audiences. As we enter the New Year, we’ll be screening at another two! Very few films have the honor of screening in their hometown area multiple times. We are extremely proud and grateful that our film is screening again and this time, as an opening night film and Big 8 selection at the San Diego Black Film Festival! More info from the SDBFF site:
The San Diego Black Film Foundation is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of African American and African Diaspora cinema as well as the education of media arts. Held each year in late January, the San Diego Black Film Festival is one of the largest black film festivals in the country. More info here.
What is the BIG 8 FILMS? It is our pick of what we believe will be the 8 biggest films of the festival in terms of strength, and subject matter. Essentially, if a film makes this list, you can rest assured of its powerful subject matter, film quality and blockbuster feel. More info here.
Hopelessly In June screens Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 8pm immediately following the Opening Reception at the Reading Gaslamp 15 located at 701 5th Ave. San Diego, CA 92101.
