Welcome to Freelancers Anonymous: a comedy FEATURE FILM highlighting the LGBTQ community and women in tech industries!
Billie #hatesherjob and is desperate for a change, so she quits mere months before getting married. When she breaks the news to her fiancée Gayle, things don’t go exactly as planned. Billie meets a ragtag group of women who are also looking for employment and is struck with the idea of cultivating their skills to create an app for freelancers. Now all they have to do is build it...
A fast paced Comedy of Errors! A quirky story written, directed, and starring an ensemble cast of women. Directed by award-winning Spanish filmmaker Sonia Sebastian (De Chica en Chica / Amazon), written by Amy Dellagiarino and Lisa Cordileone.
Produced by Full Spectrum Features in association with Black Apple Media.
Full Spectrum Features is a 501c3 nonprofit and our fiscal sponsors for this campaign which means any donations $50 and up are tax-deductible!!!
Freelancers Anonymous is part of a brand with a narrative story that will crossover and integrate on multiple platforms for a truly unique and engaging experience.
They all have their own individual skills but what if they come together to launch an app that will help freelancers get jobs?

We completed principal photography on October 5th and have moved directly into post production to finish the film! Funds raised on S&S will go toward Marketing, Music Licensing, PR, Film Festival Costs, Post Production - Color Correction, Sound Design and Legal fees.
Freelancers Anonymous isn't just another indie film bringing visibility to the LGBTQ community and women in tech... it's a comedy too! Here's what's different: we are launching a transmedia company! This film is only the beginning of the story.
What if we experience the Freelancers on multiple platforms to learn more about them? What if we practice what we preach and launch the actual app the Freelancers develop in the story? What if we blur the lines between story and reality to create jobs for women and the LGBTQ community working in STEM industries?
Creating consistent visibility leads us toward equality.
The reality is that there is a “substantial gender gap in engineering and computer occupations [which] contributes to women’s overall underrepresentation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) industries.” - catalyst.org
Regarding the Google leaks – Sept. 8th 2017
“While Google said the data painted an incomplete picture of how people are paid, the salary details shared by employees are likely to heighten concerns over gender disparities in Silicon Valley.
Even as America's technology giants continue to grow in wealth and influence, most have shown little progress in leveling the playing field for women, who are underrepresented in key engineering and leadership roles and are paid less than men.” – CNBC.com
Our mission is to use media and technology to close this gap!
