Mission Statement
Set out to progress the narrative of women in film not only on-screen, but also through physical production, OR DIE TRYING has committed to hiring a team that is no less than 85% female.About The Project
THE PROJECT
OR DIE TRYING, a series about women in film, by women in film, is currently in post-production for season one. Like its creators, OR DIE TRYING is comprised of creative women living and working in Los Angeles, in varying aspects of the entertainment industry. They have set out to progress the narrative of women in film not only on-screen, but also through physical production by committing to hire a team that is no less than 85% female. OR DIE TRYING successfully crowdfunded production costs for season one on Seed&Spark, and has been featured as IndieWire’s Project of the Week, in addition to being covered by Busted Buggy Entertainment, Owner's Magazine, netTVnow, The Dirty Filmmaker, and Style Maniac.
THE MOVEMENT
OR DIE TRYING is a testament to the countless women in film. We, the creators, are active women in the film industry not just on screen, but in our real lives as well. We don't "ask for permission," we fight for our dreams daily. The struggles that we have faced as millennials in Hollywood have inspired us to create a story that is raw, real, and relatable for all of the young women who come out to California with a dream of making it in LA.
OR DIE TRYING represents all of the resilient women who are judged not only by their talent, but also by their age, race, gender, "look," and social following. We represent the women who hustle for what they want, because they don't believe in a plan b. We represent the women who collaborate and create, hoping to build something bigger than themselves.
This one is for the artists, the fighters, and the dreamers.
