A new series about finding your misfit, makeshift family, and going after your dreams together
A female take on the tech industry, the show follows an aspiring startup founder and an eclectic group of techies and creative artists who realize they need each other to flourish in this new world. With this tenacious and motivated cast and crew, we wrote, fundraised, and filmed the pilot episode of our series.
THE STORY
MAKESHIFT SOCIETY
Alex has always dreamed of building a startup, but has always taken the safe route. When she is fired by her tech bro boss, she discovers a co-working space of misfit founders, each running their own eccentric business. She decides to embark on an adventure to build her own startup, and make her own rules.
THAT’S A WRAP!
The pilot episode is ready. Next, we head to screenings and distribution. Want to host a screening? Get In Touch
