Blended
Web Series
Created by Jessica Hinkson and Thea Gagliardi, Blended is a comedic digital series that takes place in present day Hamilton over eight 10 minute episodes. Centred around Lil, a purser for an airline. Well travelled, a foodie, and a frequent workshop flyer be it pottery, cooking classes, or knitting. Lil found love later with Luka, an Ad Exec, who has a 20 something daughter, Zosie. Lil always wanted a family of her own, it’s just that she wasn’t ready, the timing was off, and then it was too late.
​
Lil over-tries in her overwhelm, resulting in overdoing it all. She hasn’t done this before, or peri-menopause, but here we are. Huzzah. In her earnest, she makes whole-hearted attempts to build relationships with her stepdaughter, Luka, and “The Moms.” ie. forest bathing, vacation planning, miscarriage, periods, mammograms, hot flashes. Most importantly, what it is and how it is for Lil to find her place. This blended family; unique in experience, relatable in chaos, comforted by laughter, and lightly flavoured with heart-warming coziness.

This Summer, Maybe
Feature rom-com
This Summer, Maybe centres around Ali Carter, who has been training all year for the Brooklyn Memorial Charity Marathon (that she’s going to win), where she is an ER nurse. She is also getting ready to celebrate her thirtieth birthday; hello, not only is it a big year, it’s her year—training hard, planning hard, and working hard. When she realizes her work rival, MITCH FOSTER, a broody, sculpted hottie and a pediatric sports medicine specialist, is on the same training team as her, the competition becomes spicy as Ali concocts a plan to distract him. It's working out exactly as planned, she says, her defensive inside voice taking over, yet she feels butterflies in her stomach... Is love sickness a real thing? Ali thought it was for the likes of Jane Austen’s great love stories that she loves so dearly. This summer may be Ali's year in more ways than one, but is she ready?
