Mission Statement

It's 2025, the world is falling apart, and queer people deserve to see ourselves represented as we are. Messy and angry and funny (thank god). That's why there are queer voices of all kinds in every sector of this project. We are the team to bring these character's to life in all of their nuance.

The Story

"UnSmall" follows an insecure, self sabotaging actress who blows up her relationship and moves in with a gaggle of queer idiots. In the midst of unlikely friendships and terrible romantic decisions they learn to move past their shame and love each other despite it all. It's 2025 and somehow, despite pride parades and claims of body nuetrality, we all experience shame. Even without the catholic church, men on podcasts, or the current administration being involved in the story, the characters still feel internalized embarrassment for being the way they are. Whether it be their gender indentity, percieved attractiveness, mental well being or lack of romantic experience, each character carries an unnecessary amount of guilt. We’re not the only group of mentally ill, traumatized, majority queer and trans artists making a low budget webseries right now. But we are the best looking one. Jokes aside, this cast and crew has the skill and the lived experience to fully tell this story with respect to the many nuanced identities at play.


We have successfully shot the first episode of the series with the money in our savings. The funding from this campaign will be used for the rest of the production (9 more episodes) over the course of the next 2 months. This amazing crew deserves to be paid and weirdly did not accept our offer to pay them in love and loyalty.


We also will be using the funds for locations and meals during our shoot days.


Please consider donating and helping us end body insecurity forever! Support queer/trans art to show the youths that it's actually beautiful be different, despite the current state of America. And most of all, support us so you get to sit back and watch this amazing story come to life. Prepare to laugh, cry, and be thoroughly entertained by the idiocy of these characters.
