Story
Inclusion Statement
In addition to being written, directed, and produced exclusively by women, Kombucha Catch-Up also strives to shine light on the toxicity of non-intersectional feminism and offer more voices for people of color and trans/non-binary people in Season 2 and beyond.About The Project
In Season 1, actors and white feminists Holly, Delwyn, and Sarabeth grappled with a rough entrance into the real world as they approached their college grduation. Holly had a complicated sexual encounter with her best friend, Matt. Sarabeth was hiding a double-life as a basic bitch. And Delwyn and her boyfriend, Emerson, got caught in a major dilemma.
In Season 2, we're reintroduced to these same characters (and their toxic white feminism) post-election. What does the world look like now that Trump is President? Have they been able to maintain their friendships after graduation? Is anyone going to call them out for being terrible people?
Help us produce Season 2 to find out!
Kombucha Catch-Up was originally staged live in front of an audience at Reckless Theatre's Fighter Pilot competition in New York City in April 2016. Audiences voted to see Kombucha Catch-Up return for three consecutive episodes before creators Stefanie Flamm and Kelly Webb began filming the series for web distribution. Season 1 premiered on YouTube and Facebook in August 2017 to positive reviews and press.
We filmed Season 1 with no budget and very limited resources, and we want to take what we learned and make Season 2 the best it can be. We've already completed writing all five episodes of Season 2, and our cast was excited to revisit these characters during our first read-through. We are chomping at the bit to begin production in Spring 2018, and now all we need is your help.
Our mission in Season 2 is to diversify our team - we want more women on the production team, more characters of color, and more opportunities to feature LGBTQ actors. We've written the second season with this mission in mind, and it is our hope that we can continue to develop these characters to evolve with the climate of the country and speak to non-cis, white, heterosexual voices.
