UPCOMING PROJECTS
Our slate spans an array of genres from period comedy-drama to contemporary thriller, but all of our projects stay true to our ethos of working with and developing stories about people from underrepresented backgrounds. We're working on a TV series about Victorian drag queens, a feature about two older female friends on holiday, and a thriller that revolves around a professional dominatrix and a high profile murder in which she may or may not be involved.

High school students from Democracy Prep school in the South Bronx, New York, compete against young people across the US at a ‘speech’ competition at Yale University, a form of competitive acting.
