Our goal is to contribute to a cultural shift through narratives that normalize stories about the traditionally marginalized: women, minority, and LGBT characters presented as people rather than genres. Burning Brigid Media makes a conscious effort to break free from the old-world “straight white male protagonist” default seen in established mainstream entertainment media. We create films to both
create art that reflects the world as it is, and to provide opportunities to creatives who might not otherwise find roles that go beyond stereotypes. We create honestly entertaining diverse stories about people, who are people, instead of caricatures. Our projects are as diverse as our casts, ranging from atmospheric horror to relationship dramas to science-fiction and fantasy. Honestly entertaining diverse stories
We’re here to entertain, but at the same time we wish to present our audience with honest fiction. Sometimes strong people are weak. Sometimes there are no happy endings. People come in all varieties of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The world is a complex place, and fiction does not have to be simple to be entertaining. We produce the Synesthesia Theatre audio drama podcast.
