We're introducing a new series on YouTube featuring a romantically-challenged young man looking for love in The District. After he bets his roommate a month’s rent that he can find a date in 24 hours, a friend agrees to tag along and document the experience on film.
Produced by and starring Daniel Shar, the series takes the viewer through District shops and restaurants on the quest to meet the perfect girl. For an added touch of verisimilitude, Shar was actually up for 24 hours straight (although his film crew gave out around 3 am).
The first episode will be posted on The District’s YouTube site (www.youtube.com/discoverthedistrict) on Monday, April 19. New episodes will be posted on a regular basis so viewers can follow his exploits.
Daniel Shar is currently a student at the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism and has previously worked for the Columbia Missourian. He also spent a semester in Chicago as a student in the Comedy Studies program run by The Second City. Most notably, he’s produced and starred in several YouTube videos that have gone viral, garnering over 25,000 hits.
