| 17 Feb - 3 Mar

“This episodic is all the dream of a super-close, super-gay friend group, with delicious shenanigans that propel the quintet to a glorious finish. Written, directed and created by q***r teens, and filled with impeccably accurate youth vernacular and more one-liners than there are feathers in a feather boa, Hetero will have you cackling from the opening scene. And the best part? Everyone’s gay + no one dies

10/28/2021

tell ur friends abt hetero!! we’re so close to 15K followers on insta :)) we’ll plan for a big celebration post when we get there 😝😝

make sure u turn on our post notifications so we can help get the word out faster 😊😊

10/17/2021

we need 5,000 comments to tag today — let’s get hetero on hbo max!!

we’ve come so far — 5K comments tagging them across insta and tiktok — but we need to grow our momentum so let’s DOUBLE IT!

authentic q***r representation deserves to be accessible for everyone—that’s a necessity. we won’t settle for an unknown channel or network.

it’s even more exciting because we are literally a bunch of q***r teens making this fabulous coming-of-age story all by ourselves 😊😊

REMEMBER: tickets to the in-person premieres are in our bio 🎟 you can literally watch the whole season of hetero through film festivals today!

most importantly— you can do your part by tagging 💜💜💜

round 2! want gay rights? tag 👀

represents teens and shows and stuff at so they’re our best bet for getting hetero picked up :))

Hetero synopsis: Five friends—Quinn, Sarai, Zel, Mickey, and Cohen—scramble to save their high school’s gay-straight alliance following their principal’s orders to diversify the club by “recruiting” straight students. There’s Quinn, the tough but tender leader of GSA. Sarai, their lovable le***an best friend. Zel— the voice of reason. Mickey, the walking, talking Claire's store. And Cohen— all flair, stoicism, and the communist manifesto.

To achieve this quixotic aim of straight-washing their GSA, each becomes the “gay best friend” of select peers while facing the highs and lows being q***r in high school. Third Charm, a Seattle-based youth production company, created this first season of HETERO, and the result crackles with energy.

With a public release date still in the works, be sure to view an early screening of the HETERO miniseries!

THANK YOU GAYS WE LOVE YOU🥰🥰💗💓💕💖💝💝💕💗💞💓💗💕💕💗💕💓💕💖

last 3 days!! help us cross the finish line for season 2 fundraising. also, 20 campaign followers left for us to reach 500!!! 1) link in bio 2) fundraiser page 3) follow our campaign! we’re SO SO CLOSEE

WE’RE SO CLOSE— 4 days left in our season 2 fundraiser! last shot at getting early access to the pilot. if you can’t contribute then following our campaign page is just as valuable. 62 followers left to hit 500! With 500 followers on seed&spark, we’ll “unlock waivers for free festival submissions and more amazing tools to help you better navigate everything around your film, from production gear to custom marketing and digital strategy!”

kinda tempting… should we do a live-only premiere of the pilot and cast q&a? (lmao we can’t release the show publicly rn as we’re pursuing the tough love of festivals and distribution 😝) but yes eventually it will be public obviously!! remember you can support the gays w our season 2 fundraiser for like only one cent or a dollar and get the entire pilot episode which we poured our lives into. but we hear you and we want it accessible, and unfortunately our show won’t exist if we don’t get funded cause feeding ppl and caring for health on set, and paying queer cast and crew are meaningful and worthy ❤️❤️
