What is Generation Why?
Generation Why? is a new Australian web-series that follows the story of Stella, a twenty-something-year-old University graduate who is stuck in the same checkout chick job she's had since she was 16, with no new job prospects and lacking direction. Stella runs into Melanie, a zany, bright former high school classmate who invites her to a "party" to reconnect. Upon arrival, Stella meets a bunch of Melanie's friends who put her at ease...that is until they all gather around in a circle (literally) and invite Stella to join them. Melanie welcomes Stella to The Millennial Support Group.
This series is an ensemble comedy that includes themes of identity, career, relationships and politics. It presents issues that millennials experience in a way that makes you laugh but then question the importance and actual effect of.
Two Braids Collective is excited to be working with 13th Street Films to help bring this pilot to life. With their expertise and equipment, we are committed to producing a high-quality episode that can then be entered into film festivals and submitted to councils and funding bodies for financing. The ultimate (future) goal is to produce the six-part series and make Generation Why? a living, breathing, actual thing that people watch, get overly emotionally attached to and spend all their free time viewing!
