The Story
.png)
This is Fine is a new dramedy series about navigating millennial adulthood with a little help from pole dancing. AFTER coming of age, and making all of the “right” choices, Charlie, Zoe, Max, and Berry face the realization that many of us are hitting right now: We’re tired. We’re broken. We’re far from fine. Grappling to balance their innermost desires with external expectations, our ensemble bond as they realize the only way through these failed attempts at adulthood is together.
The Journey
The complexity of middle and younger aged millennial adulthood doesn't get enough attention; that late 20s/early 30s struggle of society expecting you to have your shit together while little is at our disposal to support making that happen. The show is very much inspired by my own attempts at adulting, especially my friendship with pole instructor and actress Angela Chandra. I didn’t see friendships, specifically new ADULT friendships like ours portrayed very often: one, a hetero-normative presenting white lady married with kids, the other, a queer, childless by choice, desi-American woman newly single and playing the field. On paper, there aren’t a lot of ways to see our lives overlapping enough to have that chance to connect. But as luck and the age of social media would have it, we connected via instagram, and we’ve been besties ever since.
-Sam Bangs (co-creator/Charlie Henderson)
As a Bi-Latina growing up in Portland her entire life, this is the first project that I’ve felt listened to and accepted on. I don’t feel exploited, rather I actually feel a part of the conversation. And it’s been great developing the series with a team of writers to expand it so much more. And our writers room has been very safe and understanding. It feels like a space where any idea can be pitched, or constructively worked on; to work and develop as an artist around this team.
-Brittany Villela (co-creator/Berry Gomez)
When we talk about diversity and inclusion…
“Diversity” and “Representation” are buzz words unless you put in the work. And this team has put in the work. From diversifying the writer’s room, the producing and directing team, the talent on-screen as well as our talented crew we are creating something truly unique.
-Tara Johnson-Medinger (executive producer/pilot director)
For many minority, LGBTQ+, and misrepresented voices, it’s always been incredibly hard, if not impossible, to sit at the Table in the writer’s room. With the rise of the so-called ‘diverse movement’ in the industry, it’s important to stress that being heard and being listened to are completely different things; it shouldn’t be tokenizing someone. Many artists end up representing their culture, which adds an uneasy level of pressure, especially in a society that constantly pushes the same damaging standards.
We’ve been able to safely expand this creative space where our trust as a team has allowed our scripts to evolve and exist with the fluidity of motion as our characters are of their own accord. Everyone is invited to the room where it happens.
The Nitty Gritty
Let's get down to business: we need money.
We've written a full first season with a 6 epsiode arc, have connections to potential streaming services, and have started to cast key characters & crew up.
Your contribution will help us to complete the pilot: compensate our cast & crew, pay for equipment rentals, and purchase insurance to help keep our production secure and running smoothly.
Something we take just as seriously as representation is safety — for our cast, crew, and everyone involved in this production. Covid-19 protocol is incredibly important to us, and that includes implementing testing on-set and working with crew members that are Safe Set certified.
When you contribute to our campaign, you’re also supporting bringing a new TV series to Portland that:
- Uplifts female & queer voices
- Promotes diversity and inclusivity above and below the line
- Brings future entertainment industry job opportunities to the Pacific Northwest
Meet Your Four New Best Friends
Zoe Singh entreprenuer/desi/dancer
Charlie Deegan actor/mom of two/wife
Berry Gomez student/artist/expectant mother
Max Whitney plant lover/trans/loyal friend
On paper, Zoe Singh, Charlie Henderson, Berry Gomez and Max Whitney could not be more different.
Zoe self-identifies as ABCD: American Born Confused Desi. Juggling her 9-5 and teaching pole left her boyfriend demanding more attention, so she quit her desk job and opened her own studio: apparently the wrong choice for him. While Zoe’s studio is a haven for many, it is falling apart behind the scenes. Newly single and struggling, Zoe finds solace in new friendships.
After being drawn in by Zoe’s pole showcase, Charlie is reinspired to find herself while maneuvering between creative pursuits and the pressures of motherhood. Charlie and Zoe form an instant bond, despite their apparent differences, and they lean heavily on one another through the pressures of adulting.
Also in the mix is one of Zoe's students, Max, a Black transfemme facing blatant tokenization at their work-from-home corporate nightmare. Thankfully pole dance and caring for their plants bring them happiness: even if they aren’t particularly skilled at either.
Behind the studio’s front desk sits Berry, barely hiding her growing baby bump, unsure if she’s truly ready for motherhood.
An amalgamation of the millennial experience, this ensemble all quickly bond when they realize the only way through these failed attempts at adulthood is together.
