Vancouver’s first Black queer web series introduces Novelette, a cynical, anti-social, and newly single bisexual woman who reluctantly takes on a roommate to help with the rent on her East Van apartment. At first, the extroverted, outspoken Audre seems like the wrong choice. But, although their personalities clash, Audre’s boldness soon rubs off on Novelette in the best way, encouraging her to dive back into the dating pool.

Our World Premiere screening launches the first five episodes of this ten-part comedy series from local filmmaker Giselle Miller, who writes and directs from her own experiences of identity and belonging in Vancouver.
