An ongoing comedy series that showcases amazing FilAm talents, real Los Angeles locations, and the true-to-life struggles of Hollywood
A Filipino-American extended family of seven are crammed into one tiny Los Angeles apartment, each pursuing a career in entertainment. They love each other, but in these trying circumstances they express that love mostly through bickering. Family!
The Plan
As a FilAm filmmaking collective, we’ll be producing the first four episodes entirely independently.
This means everyone above and below the line will be contributing their time and talents entirely in belief of the concept and story and for the cause of representation.
In this way, we will hold total control over the content and ensure NRFL remains vital and unique as it comes into its own
The finished episodes will first be presented as an Episodic Series at prestigious film festivals. Then we will seek online distribution on a suitable streaming platform such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu.
The Future
The characters and storylines of NRFL are built to sustain many more stories.
After establishing the characters in these first four episodes, we want to continue their story in the form of a Philippines-set feature film.
The story of Filipino-Americans returning to the motherland has incredible potential to be moving, meaningful, and hilarious.
In expanding to a feature film canvas we want to ensure our cast & crew who have invested their time in the first season are now paid in proportion to their efforts, while remaining an extremely efficient and budget friendly production.
