WHY SHOULD YOU SUPPORT?
In the wake of the WGA and SAG strikes it has never been more important for artists and filmmakers to make their own work! We are a gender, identity and racially diverse team dedicated to sharing the stories of an equally diverse group of people. Bridal Party will explore themes of identity, relationships of all kinds and challenge the standards of the fashion industry.
Be sure to follow us on Instagram @herstoriesproductions with all the updates and content.
Help us WOW potential producers and create this heartfelt (and wildly entertaining) sitcom... hopefully coming soon to a steaming service near you!
