We began with nothing but a story…
No budget, no audience, no plan — just a borrowed mic, a deadline we nearly missed, and a strange little idea that wouldn’t let us sleep. What started as a thought — grew teeth. Then roots. Then wings.
It called to us. We answered.
Our Values
I.
Inclusivity
Everyone has a story — and every story deserves to be heard. We’re here for the voices that don’t always get the spotlight. Especially the ones that have been lost in the margins.
II.
LGBTQ+
Queer lives are threaded through history, folklore, and the stories we carry. We don’t “include” LGBTQ+ people — we are them.
III.
Independent
We started as a student project with no budget and no roadmap — just a shared instinct to follow the story. We’re still independent, and we intend to stay that way.
IV.
Community
Our work grows out of connection — with the people we make it alongside, the ones who listen, and everyone who shows up with curiosity and care. We’re not here to speak for others. We’re here to build with them.
V.
Quality
We don’t chase algorithms, we aim to craft with care. If it takes longer to tell a story well, we’ll take our time. Because good storytelling is more than content — it’s connection.
