History

I Hate Being Single was written by Rob Michael Hugel, and was inspired by his first few months living in New York and pursuing an acting career. Rob was also inspired by working as the director and editor of the web series 'Broad City'. In an interview, he mentions what it was like living in New York and where some of the ideas for I Hate Being Single came from: "Being new to town, getting over a breakup, trying to make friends or find my footing socially was full of ups and downs." Rob wanted to make a web series that was as close to his personal experiences as possible as a starting point. Rob states that 90 percent of the show is based on his own life .[3]

The series won 'Bing Audience Choice Award Winner' at the 2011 New York Television Festival. I Hate Being Single is in the Official Selection at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2013 and the Official Selection and nominee in five categories at the Indie Soap Awards 2013 including Best Writing Comedy and Best Director.[4]
