"The show truly captures what it means to be a 20-something from a fresh perspective and captures the ripe comic territory of online dating," said McGaughey in a statement.
Through Indiegogo, "Rom.Dot.Com" raised $4,845 in February 2013 and donated $485 to Make-a-Wish Foundation. Pre-production began in November 2012, and the series filmed in New York in March and April 2013.
Inspired by an actual Craigslist ad, "Rom.Dot.Com," according to press notes, "is an 'unromantic' comedy web series about an unemployed 20-something journalist living in her kooky and marriage-minded grandmother's basement who succumbs to taking the only writing job she can find: ghostwriting online dating profiles."
