Sapphically Reclined is a brand new production company that'll be telling queer stories filled with joy, and we're going to make them accessible for free to anyone with internet access. We'll produce on a microbudget similar to verticals but with a living wage for cast and crew, finance with ads from queer-friendly companies, and release them on YouTube, people can rent or buy without ads and support on Patreon for additional content.
There are YouTube channels out there that cater to a sapphic film audience and there are movies with tens of millions of views, but they only use YouTube as a storage and access point for their titles. YouTube was created so that creatives could connect directly with their audience. Clips from talk shows do well there because we feel like we're getting to know Keke Palmer while she sweats it out with Sean Evans. We're going to harness the built-in marketing power of YouTube by creating the kind of content that will reach queer, film-loving people so that when we release our feature length projects, we already have an audience that can't wait to watch.
