Important Development!

 Breaking News!



As you know I yap a lot. Typically, I know what I am yapping about. But I fear, I missed one crucial detail that I must share with you all right now! That is that Kai, the main antagonist to our main character Sam/Atticus is now a female! Yes everyone, gasp. Kai was originally male, but because Kai is being played by a female, and our team members are mostly queer, we decided to change direction just a little bit. That little bit making Kai a woman, and therefore in a queer relationship with Aurora.

How will this change things?



It doesn't change much! The story remains the same, however, the representation changes. Instead of just a toxic relationship, we are now representing a queer toxic relationship. Something that is barely seen in media. Because of the political state of the world, I feel that recently most queer relationships shown are more wholesome or sweet rather than being layered with issues. So representing a toxic relationship is one thing, but adding the queer experience to that changes how many will view these characters and even the outcome of the story!

For example, currently in the LGBTQ community, a woman leaving another woman and then dating a man afterwards is heavily frowned upon. That is what happens in our story. Many may not like this plot point, but it is a very common thing to happen. I've personally known four girls who have dated a woman and then dated a man afterwards. They hate these girls got was so weird and not right. 

On the flip side, homophobia is still very present. The idea of two people of the same gender dating people disgusts people. I myself have been the victim of homophobia, and this is not right either. Perhaps, if we represent that for some people, the gender does not matter, but how the person treats them, people may come to be more accepting of both dating the same gender and also dating the opposite gender.

Representation is important, and so I am actually very happy to be adding this intriguing storyline into our production. While I personally have a preference for one gender, many are open to multiple, so it's time to show that more and hopefully let people be more accepting of that.

 Time to do Question 3! How did your production skills develop throughout this project? My answer to this question may not be what one would...
