ADAM CAROLLA’S “ROAD HARD” MOVIE PROJECT 

LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN ON FUNDANYTHING.COM 

TO RAISE $1 MILLION 

Glendale, CA -- Comedian and podcast king Adam Carolla announced today, at a global online press conference, the launch of a $1 million crowd funding campaign on the FundAnything.com platform to raise money for his new movie project “ROAD HARD.”

Adam Carolla writes, directs and stars in the film about the journey of a former standup-turned-sitcom-star who, after the cancellation of his show and a divorce, is forced to go back on the road and perform at the dumpy clubs he played on the way up. In between gigs, he has long days on the road and longer nights in hotels wrestling with the fact that his best days may be behind him, and the question of whether to stay in the game at all. The film is co-written and co-directed with Kevin Hench (THE HAMMER).

“My fans are so loyal and have supported all my other projects – the podcast, my books, and my line of booze, Mangria. I couldn’t imagine making a movie without enlisting them,” said Carolla. “I really want to do this outside of the Hollywood system and the only way to make that happen is with my fans, friends and supporters going to FundAnything.com/adamcarolla and pitching in on the project.”

Fans who make a contribution to the campaign will get PRIZES/Bonuses ranging from an exclusive Road Hard T-shirt, pre-screening of the movie with the cast and crew, a Podcast Party where you can join Adam Carolla at his studio during a live taping, invitations to the wrap party, set visits, and even being an extra in the film!

“We are thrilled that Adam Carolla is launching the fundraising campaign for his huge new movie ‘Road Hard’ on FundAnything,” said Bill Zanker. “With Donald Trump on our side, Adam’s loyal fan base, and the tremendous following we’ve attracted, FundAnything is on its way to becoming the best crowdfunding site for film and entertainment industry leaders who want to raise a lot of money.”

When Carolla learned that his friend and former Celebrity Apprentice “boss” Donald Trump had launched the crowdfunding site, he chose FundAnything over others as the ideal place to raise awareness and funds for his new movie. FundAnything has seen explosive growth since its launch in May 2013, and Carolla’s movie campaign is launching only six weeks after the company’s introduction.

Carolla recently had the world premiere of his “Road Hard” campaign video featuring Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) on Jimmy Kimmel Live. You can see the full video below. This humorous video quickly went viral, and features Carolla and Cranston discussing the fact that Cranston will NOT be appearing in the movie under any circumstances…

Some of the talented people who do plan to appear in Carolla’s Road Hard movie include: David Alan Grier and Barry Miller.
