i feel sooooooo lucky and proud to be able to finally say that @UsingProtectionWebSeries is out and available to watch on IG!!!! soon to come to other platforms also. i'm so grateful to have worked with @madihart_soccer and @valen.marie for the last 2.5 years on this thing. it's a huge relic of what was on our minds while doing our senior year of college, during that first year of the pandemic. that year had so many ups and downs, and i owe so much to the people and the projects that kept my head above water. since then, the ups and downs of life haven't stopped coming. amongst all the ridiculous moments of this series, you see a lot of people trying to hang on as best they can, mostly by leaning on the people around them. i'm so grateful to the people in my life who have been sturdy when i couldn't be. u guys are my protection. please watch our four episodes at @usingprotectionwebseries to see something i really love made with and for a lot of people i love even more
And finally, exactly one week after we released episode three, we're proud to present the fourth and final episode of Using Protection. Thank you for being with us for this journey, and we hope you enjoy :) Share with your friends, family, situationships, dogs, cats, dealers, those you're intimidated by. I know we will be.
One last thank you to our people:

ANNOUNCING..... (unless you've been on any of our team members instagram accounts)
SERIESFEST!!!! We are so excited to go to Denver and kiss all the other teams on the mouth after asking first !!!! Thank you all for being here on this wiiiiiiild ride .... we will take over the world together! Once we do......... idk. haven't thought that far ahead. :) SERIESFEST!!!!
We had the best turnout at our fundraiser standup show— thanks SO much to everyone for coming out!! And thanks to @elijahjmcnally for the amazing pictures!! 📸 we have ONE DAY LEFT IN OUR POST PRODUCTION FUNDRAISER!!! Head on over to the link in our bio to send a few bucks and help us finish this thing out ✨✨✨ or Venmo @ariecu 💋
Well well well the weather is bad for tonight ❤️ A thunderstorm is not ideal for an outdoor show! 🌧 BUT (if the weather permits… rn it looks good) the show is on for TOMORROW!! 👏
•••
If tomorrow you can’t make it and you already bought a ticket, DM us and we will get you a refund!! (Though of course if you want to just make it a donation, we would appreciate that lots!)👑
•••
SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW WITH DOUBLE THE ENERGY AND DOUBLE THE VIBES!!!
Did someone say fundraiser standup show?!? ✨ We are about halfway to our fundraising goal, so we thought we’d do a fun event to give us that extra push. Backyard standup show, BYOB, all proceeds go to our post-production!!! 💋 Venmo @ariecu w/ the caption “standup show” so we can keep track! ❤️
***this costs money because it’s a fundraiser but if this provides a barrier for you then just DM us :) we will buy your ticket 🎟 😈
if supporting an awesome project isn’t enough incentive to donate (okaaaaay we are guilting you) SWIPE THROUGH TO SEE OUR AMAZING PERKS!!! Piercings? Eyebrow notches? Matching tattoos??? Give us money to see it happen! 💰
•
We need to raise $2500 to finish out production costs— okay people?! We have appreciated every penny you have given us, and now we just want to take it all the way!!! Check out our indiegogo or Venmo @ariecu 😈
Accidentally deleted oops like it again 😈
We are FUNDRAISING! Which means you get a little Using Protection footage sneak peek… as a treat!
We have less than 2 MONTHS to raise $2500 to cover post-production costs (coloring, music, licensing, re-imbursements, festivals, and more). If you could donate using the link in our bio or by Venmo-ing @ariecu that would mean everything to us! Send over $5 and we will love you FOREVER! (There’s also tons of cool perks listed on the indiegogo website… check ‘em out and redeem!!)
If you’re looking for another way to support… consider sharing this video/our fundraiser!!
We are so excited for this final stretch… we can’t wait til y’all get to see it!!
Shot by @nihal_dantluri and @dhruvohno
Directed by @ariella.j.khan and @valen.marie
Produced by @kinsey_jasnoch and @ariecu
Created by @valen.marie@madihart_soccer and @rishipuff
Well well well, here we are several weeks post-production… ASKING FOR MORE MONEY!!!
💰💰💰
A few people during the shoot were like “wow you guys are going all out for this, you must have a lot of money!” Joke is on YOU because we spent way too much! (Producer Arie am I allowed to say this?? Just being transparent.) And we are asking for more!! Student filmmaking am I right?!?
•
To cover post-production costs like coloring, music, festivals, and more— we are doing ONE. FINAL. FUNDRAISING. PUSH!!! Check out our Indiegogo, linked in the bio, to donate!
💰💰💰In all sincerity, we are so grateful for every single one of you who has supported us thus far— it means the world and makes all the difference. If you can give a few more bucks to help us finish this thing out, we would be so so grateful. If you’re looking for another way to support the Using Protection Web Series, you can share this post!! We love you all and can not wait to bring you our flawless/perfect/no notes/epic PWN of a web series!! ❤️❤️❤️
