We want to change how the entertainment industry works by putting the power in the hands of the audience and creators. Our community is the driver for our success. We are building the largest community of people who care about the content they take in. We prioritize minority voices sharing their stories authentically—no cookie-cutter comedies. Our projects push the bounds of an industry struggling to create space for BIPOC & 2SLGBTQIA creators.
Yes, the current industry is trying to make space for us, but it’s hard to change the course of such a large machine with almost 100 years of momentum. Their changes are slow and often clumsy. At Werd Entertainment, we believe representation is a priority around the writers' table, in front of the camera, and behind the scenes. We are dedicated to telling honest stories in the way they were intended to be seen.
Together, we can make that a reality. Hence, this show! We plan to shoot this summer and hope to raise $30k - $50k in one spectacular night.
We’ve rented out the awe-inspiring Royal Theatre as the backdrop for the night.
Every ticket is a donation! You will receive access to the full series when it is finished and BTS along the way.
Want to support but can’t make the show yourself? No worries, but a ticket for someone who can’t afford one and watch the livestream from anywhere in the world.
This is a chance to be a part of a necessary change. Douche Rehab is just the beginning. We have other projects waiting in the wings. Help us prove to the world that the entertainment industry can change and continue to put out comforting, confronting, and inspiring films and series representing the world in which they’re made.
Be a part of this change and share our mission with like-minded friends and family. We can only grow this community with the help of people like you.
See you June 1st.
