Mission Statement
The Story
Hazel Clarke is "Batman with a new mission."
Hotline is a murder mystery about Attorney Hazel Clarke. She is a straitlaced perfectionist who only cares about winning court cases. That all changes when her estranged sister Chelsea shows up. Hazel wrestles Chelsea out of her house but not her life. Soon after their reunion, Chelsea's dead body is discovered and her death is ruled a suicide. To soothe her grief Hazel begins working at a suicide hotline. But as evidence mounts, we're left to wonder is Hazel our hero or our villain?
Oh yeah!
...Hazel and many of her supporting cast members happen to be transgender. Hotline gives life to characters that are vastly underrepresented in mainstream media and allows them to take center stage, showcasing the complexity of race, gender, sexuality, and class through an entertaining lens.
Need Proof? Check out our trailer.
Hear our theme song.
BUT...
Hotline won't ring without you!
Hotline has definitely been a labor of LOVE! But love doesn't pay the bills, especially the extensive ones associated with filming premium content.
In order to film the series at a level that the communities represented deserve, we'll need funds to cover:
In return we are gonna hook you up!
We see you as a partner in the series and want to make sure you're a part of this experience.
In exchange for your help, we're offering on-screen credits, official merchandise, private screenings, Truth or Dare, a chance to break bread with us, shout outs and much more!
Check out all the cool perks and watch out for updates. Join Hotline today!

Although we are living through "the television renaissance," we can't name any series that centers gender non-binary characters and the plot has NOTHING to do with their gender identity. We are HUNGRY for content that challenges today's norms and celebrates the lives of people whose very existence challenges the status quo.
We do exist, after all.
Above all else...
Thank you for considering our campaign! We really appreciate your support. Even just sharing our campaign on social media will go a LONGGGGG way, trust us.
