Two Vine stars are looking to go way beyond six-second runtimes. Jason Nash and Brandon Calvillo, who have millions of followers on the Twitter-owned video capture service, have launched a Kickstarter campaign for a film called FML: A Social Media Adventure, which will feature stars from the Vine and comedy worlds.
In FML, Nash and Calvillo will play two friends who travel across the country in order to increase their respective follow counts on social media. Along the way, they’ll run into a colorful cast of characters. Vine stars like Brittany Furlan and Eric Dunn will have roles; so too will well-known comic actors like Patton Oswalt, Busy Phillips, and Rob Corddry.
In order to make their film a reality, Nash and Calvillo are hoping to raise $200,000 on Kickstarter. In exchange, they are offering perks that include video sessions with Vine stars, educational classes about Vine, and meetings with Vine-related companies like Collab and Niche. More details are available in the pitch video.

Nash may be best known for his six-second work, but he has already tried his hand at filmmaking. His first feature, Jason Nash Is Married, drew some solid reviews upon its release in 2014.
Through projects like FML and the upcoming Rainn Wilson-produced TV show Hollywood and Vine, the Vine community is getting some attention in the traditional media world. If you want to help usher this wave of six-second superstars into the mainstream, Nash and Calvillo are looking for all the help they can get over at Kickstarter.
