Mission Statement
The Story
We originally wanted to write a story that normalized "the other" kinds of sexuality. When we put our characters on paper, we fell in love with them. Through the beauty- and hilarity- of their sexual exploration, we discovered an intense desire to share it with our community.
Meet Willow:
Willow is married to Simon, who's fooled around with Pace. Pace is married to Addie, who's into everything, but was a virgin when she got married and now wants to try new things. Willow is curious.
About a lot of things.
(Feel free to add "in bed" to the end of each of these sentences.)
Willow, Simon, Pace, and Addie go to church together every week.
They're happy.. sorta.. but they're itching for something more spicy.
But looking for spicy in their small town can be... tricky. Especially with the nosy neighbor, Mrs. Pearson, who always seems to have something to say...
Check out this funny blooper from our camera's monitor- that's Mrs. P for ya! (Note: no sound!)
Let's just say... it gets hot.
Join our unlikely heroes as they navigate through the uncharted territory of their own sexuality.
"You're so bad."
Join us as film makers in bringing our film to completion, festivals, and ultimately to your tv at home.
