Mission Statement

This is an LGBTQ film that is created by a vast array of people who believe that love is love. The writer and two actors are members of the LGBTQ community and the rest are just amazing artist with big dreams. We use local businesses and promote them to the community. It is truly a loving family!

The Story

Tired of consistency in her work and routine, Kate crosses new paths when she allows herself to bend slightly. Even in the big city, you never really know just how small the world can be.

 

      

 

Using a collective of artists from within a small creative group and lead by Director Reno Venturi, "Big City, Small World" is a passion project that was used to help writer and Assistant Director Sue Kessler fight her way out of depression and PTSD. The screenplay was written in the midst of some trauma and reflected on how our choices guide our day and many missed opportunities are bread through complacincy of routine. Making small changes can open the world up to meeting new people and the possibility of finding love.

 

  

 

The journey is told through music and emotion with many moments that point out where even in the vastness of New York City, the world is smaller than we think... all one has to do is pay attention. 

 

  

 

The film hopes to have people believe in possibility and open their eyes to the world in front of them. If you feel stuck, make a change. If you want love, pick up your head and believe in the possibilities.

 

  

 

The collective also believe in Love is Love and the story of Kate and Avery is a sweet reminder of the depth of human connection. 

 

Once we are all done we will be spreading the love to many festivals. Your help will allow us to get Big City, Small World out to everyone through the festival circuit. Our last film "Misadventures of Being Single" had great success at the festivals listed below and we hope to have more success with Big City, Small World!
