Dream Maker is a webseries that stars Audrina Patridge as an up-and-coming talent manager who moves from Hollywood to Detroit to start her own talent agency. Written and directed by Asher Levin and produced by YOBI.tv, the series follows the adventures of Tracy Jacobs (Audrina Patridge), her assistant Jason Smith (Rory Kramer), and her receptionist Jamie Johnson (Lisa Mason Lee) as they discover, sign, and send their clients on to stardom.

Much of the initial press given to the series focused on the fact that Audrina's co-stars and other members of the Dream Maker cast and crew are winners of the various online talent contests hosted by YOBI.tv. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Audrina Patridge might be the marquee name driving YOBI.tv’s new Michigan-produced online Web series "Dream Maker," but the reality TV veteran said it’s her cast mates and behind-the-scenes crew members who are the real stars of the project. [6]

Among those joining Patridge on-camera are YOBIAct winners Rory Kramer and Lisa Mason Lee, YOBILaugh winners Joshua David Evans and Gisele Noel, YOBISing winners Kari Fleskes and Janick Thibault, and YOBIFilm winner Tal Haring.
