what
a media and production company for visionaries and their visions.
MANIFESTO
everything we create wears its vulnerability, its feelings, and its power on its sleeve. we create things to expose newness to the world: on purpose and for a purpose. we connect people through stories; we tell the truth; we shift perspectives; we unearth new layers of the human experience; we are liberated from shame.
we are a fever dream that wakes you up.
why
shining a light on expansive, unique, heartfelt diverse experiences, and platforming new queer voices in film and television, fundamentally shifts narratives and uplifts not just the queer community, but everybody.
