Hard to Be Me is a comedy-drama television pilot created by and starring Edward Robert Bach. The show follows Kevin Hamilton, a second-year art student played by Bach, who documents his weekly experiences through a vlog and art.
This innovative framing device led critics to label it "the first web web 2.0 television show". Director Erik Cieslewicz cited this aspect as a key reason for his involvement in the project. The pilot's creators described the show as a blend of Gilmore Girls a little Everybody Hates Chris", with this mix of styles being a major component of the series.
Hard to Be Me won a "slew of awards at film festivals" and was also pitched to several networks, ultimately landing on Amazon Prime.
