Pepito's Mamadas
Web Series

LOGLINE


PEPITO’S MAMADAS is a live-action comedy web series based on the world-famous, outrageously funny character of the Latin America transgenerational legendary “Pepito Jokes.” The jokes have been around since the 1930s in Mexico and other parts of the world.

                         At Vanity Fair's Oscar Party with Coco Producer Darla K. Anderson, 

                                             and Directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina.

  

In the double entendre jokes, Pepito is a loveable, mischievous and precocious little boy who makes us laugh with his humorous wit and plenty of sexual innuendos.  Many Latinos have heard at least one Pepito Joke in their lifetime. Pepito is America's Pico de Gallo. The purpose of Pepito’s Mamadas is to showcase and shop around the concept for an American/International series with a major Hollywood production company or streamer.

SYNOPSIS


Now a grown man in his 30s and living in Hollywood, California, Pepito is many times the trouble he was as a kid back in his homeland, Mexico. From the barrio to VIP status, in our series’ episodes our overachiever confronts daily adversity through wit, charm, humor and tequila along with his entourage of childhood friends. He often gets into shifty predicaments but ingeniously manages to get out of them.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

I am a Latino storyteller with experience in Hollywood movies and tv series and independent films, who also has created original content reflecting my Latino culture. I have produced and directed dozen short films and participated in various international film fests. Now I am ready to bring Pepito to America. I grew up listening to Pepito jokes at home since my childhood. I know and understand how important and relevant Pepito is for Mexicans and all Latinos. And I also know that the U.S. and the world are ready for this iconic jokester, a funny character of universal appeal that can make people laugh and bring them together.

                                        and (Aarav, Vishal Singh) in PICASSO.

                          

The idea of a Pepito series has been with me since I became a filmmaker many years ago. While developing the concept, I have been reaching out to key people and companies to raise awareness of the infamous, mischievous, funny character that is loved by Mexicans and Latinos.

More recently, encouraged by people who love me and support my craft, I started producing Pepito stand-alone episodes during the pandemic. This led me to create this Pepito’s Mamadas limited series, which will both entertain the growing legion of Pepito fans and show its promise to key players that could help me turn him into a world sensation. Thanks for your support and contributions and for being part of Pepito’s success.

THE NITTY-GRITTY

 

While I have been shopping around the Pepito series, I need a proof of concept to sell it to a major Hollywood production company and take Pepito global. With your help, funding the production and completion of this Pepito’s Mamadas limited series, consisting of 10 episodes, will make it easier to generate interest to turn it into PEPITO’S AMERICA, a major series.

 

Sincerely, 

Carlos Moreno Jr

Great news, mi mundo: Thanks to about 180 donations--a few from people who contributed twice--we met and surpassed both our minimum and stretch goals to raise a final total of $11,214

MUCHAS GRACIAS, AMIGOS!


With PEPITO’S MAMADAS, you all and us have proven once again that crowdfunding truly empowers film and TV creators and their supporters to make series and movies possible, especially those coming from underrepresented groups. YES, WE ARE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE!

 

While pursuing PEPITO’S AMERICA as a series with TV networks and streamers in Hollywood, we don’t stand still waiting for things to happen. No, we have been creating content with a large team of talented, hard-working actors and filmmakers who believe in PEPITO. We have released three short films, before and during the pandemic. Now with your support we are ready to produce our new limited comedy series to make people laugh in today's challenging times and also raise the profile of our major project.

 

In the meantime, we will be working diligently in the next few days and weeks to fulfill the incentives we promised in our campaign. Please let us know if you have a different email address for this purpose. 

And of course, we look forward to sharing each and all completed episodes of PEPITO'S MAMADAS with you all and the world soon. We’ll keep you posted!

Gracias for your support and vote of confidence! Our dream is to make people laugh in a world facing divisions, suffering, injustice, and many other challenges. We know that ART and HUMOR can help bring people together and heal our communities. 
Now, with a week still left in our month-long campaign, we're now going for our STRETCH GOAL of $10000. One more week of crowdfunding will empower us to take our production to a whole new level. So feel free to share the good news about our project as well as the opportunity for others to join our Pepito family.
Again, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for backing our comedy! We feel emboldened to stick to our guns to tell OUR STORIES and find a major production company to bring Pepito to Hollywood in a big way and share him with a world in need of laughter!
MIL ABRAZOS!

ANOTHER MILESTONE REACHED!
Thu. July 28, 11:14 AM PDT

Dear friends: We have raised more than $6000! 


That means we have little over three quarters of our crowdfunding goal. We have done so with the help of 100+ contributors like you, who want to see stories like that of our Pepito. In a world that needs laughs and hope, Pepito--the central character of Mexico’s world-famous Pepito Jokes--aims to serve various episodes of original, fun and quality stories. And you are making this possible. 


Thanks for believing in us and Pepito!


We have about two more weeks to go and hope to not only reach our goal but surpass it! 

Yes, we can! Si se puede!

However, we still need to meet our goal of $8000 and have 17 days to to achieve it The team is excited and grateful that you are part of our journey.

Dear friends: We’ve crowdfunded $3000 for our web series! This goal was reached thanks to an ANGEL MATCHING DONOR who matched $500 dollars of your contributions this week. 

THANKS DR. DAMOND of the BELIEVE PSYCHOLOGY FILM FESTIVAL for helping us reach that mark! And thanks to all those of you who responded to her call to action as well as everyone else who have contributed since the launch of our campaign.
Now our next goal is: $5000!
