Mission Statement
The Story
Love You, Bi follows Mel, a woman in her mid-30's navigating the queer dating scene in sunny but lonely Los Angeles. It highlights myriad zany characters not excluding Mel herself, who is often riddled with anxiety and trying to cope in all the wrong ways– including sharing her dating journey publicly on her podcast, Love You, Bi. The podcast helps her navigate the question: “Can I give up control and actually enjoy a romantic relationship?”
The Anxious Podcaster
Mel - Whatever “put together” looks like, slightly uptight. Can she give up control to actually enjoy dating and find a partner?
The Confidantes
Anton - Mel's best friend. Sweet but not saccharine. Grounded in his convictions but can lean dramatic; he is a working actor after all.
Christine - Mel's older sister. Provides a reality check when Mel becomes too engrossed in LA drama. Can run a half marathon without training.
The Dates
Fiona - All she wants is a fellow adrenaline junkie to spend her life with. Unironically uses the IG caption: "I did a thing!"
Alex - Always on the prowl for a third. Has nose ring and the personality traits that come along with it.
Quinn - They make new friends everywhere they go. Main objective is to save all the palm trees in LA from becoming extinct.
Wayne - 53% chest, 31% arms and 16% brains. Moved to LA to model but still working as a personal trainer 8 years later- somehow not bitter about it.
Frankie - Pouty lips and the illusion of elegance. Irresistible. Treats her exes like collectibles she keeps on a shelf.
Ali - Usually wearing a suit, except maybe to bed. Longs for a partner but can't seem to meet her match. Generous and sweet but comes off cold to the naked eye.
The Saboteurs:
Scorpio - "too old to care about pronouns", always sporting an iridescent onesie. Impatient and explosive. Pushes boundaries with his best-looking students.
Toni - A Dollar Tree Janis Joplin with frizzy locks. Loyal to a fault. Postures as a hippie but waits in line every time a new iPhone drops.
Heaven the Barista - Will read you to filth then make you the best oat latte you've ever had in your life.
