Our Story

 

Howdy! My name is Echo Nguyen. I am a director and writer, and for the first time, with capital g great, I am a showrunner (that’s the person who runs the (TV) show). I have four successful and heartfelt short films (Heated, Hook Line Sinker, Summa Culpa Laude, and Hemingway) that I’m extremely proud of under my belt. Also, I have written three feature films and an hour-long pilot episode if anyone asks you. If you want proof, take a look at my director's reel:

I love filmmaking! It is how I communicate who I am to the world and everyone around me. I love being a leader and guiding the cast and crew who bring the story into their hearts and make it as important to them as it is to me.

I moved to LA two years ago, and I’ve been working in TV, film, and commercials ever since. I’ve been building a team out here, and we’re ready to entertain y’all! Since I was a little kid, I have wanted nothing more in the whole wide world than to make movies, and that’s what I’ve been doing, am doing, and will be doing till I’m gone!

 

We need YOUR HELP to fund this trailer! This trailer aids our team in promoting the story to potential investors for "capital g great" to become an official web series! Every dollar counts in being able to pay for locations, equipment, food, cast and crew, etc.

 

Meet the Characters

Meadow is a movie fanatic film buff who believes she is Alfred Hitchcock reincarnated. She’s a reclusive screenwriter and a tyrannical director. What a combo! Meadow wants to break into the industry with her feature directorial debut yesterday. The only problem: she doesn’t have the money to make the movie. So, when ? offers her $4 million on the stipulation that she makes a web series, she devotes her entire life to helming this creative project.

 

Anastasia is the heart of our story. She is a social butterfly with a tender heart, and she oozes star power. Her dream is to be the leading lady on the silver screen. When the in-universe web series (How I am Become God) begins production, Anastasia is tasked with playing the lead role of Meadow’s self-insert character: “Echo” (it’s about to get really meta in here…you with me? :)). Oh, and did I mention Anastasia and Meadow are dating? I’m sure that won’t lead to any problems...

 

Faith is a whole grown adult who does her laundry, hangs out with friends, and, get this, she even makes time for her passions. And she has a lot of them from karate to welding and even saving wildlife. Let’s just say she has her shit together..well, until Meadow asks her to produce How I am Become God. Faith wants to make the project the best damn thing on the internet, but she also wants to maintain her sanity while doing it.

 

Our Why

"capital g great" will have a serious social impact. The main romance is between two young women, played by two trans actresses. There is a serious lack of lesbian representation, let alone trans lesbian representation. The representation in our show is full of love, insecurity, and depth. The romantic relationship between Meadow and Anastasia is not perfect. It’s quite messy actually, but it’s real. People who want to see women loving women on screen will feel seen, especially trans lesbian women and those who love them. 

Truthfully. What I want most out of capital g great is for a little girl who loves movies to stumble upon the show on YouTube and see herself in it, and after that, see that she can make something like this if she wants to. Because while she’s watching, then, she’ll know she can. She’ll also know it’s okay that she was looking up “pretty girls kissing” in Incognito mode. Because...same.

 

 

Like Meadow, we all have agency in our lives to choose the route we believe is best in the long run. I hope capital g great touches your heart. Anyone who loves love (particularly lesbian love,) anyone who loves movies, anyone who has a dream can love this story and put themselves in Meadow’s place.

I want to play with the form of filmmaking. This story isn’t a movie, and it isn’t a TV show. But. Isn’t it? Isn’t it both things at once, and we’re just calling it a web series cause it’ll be online? What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet. And let me tell ya! This web series smells ever sweeter than any movie or TV show. We’re breaking the mold. Let’s transcend the boundaries between movies, TV, YouTube videos, and TikToks. How are they all that different, really? Let’s watch a goddamn story together! Who cares what we call it!

Ahem

Thank you for listening to that rant...

I want to introduce myself to the world with capital g great. This story is a huge self-critique, but it’s also my first impression that says: “Hi, my name is Echo Nguyen". And hopefully, I can hold myself accountable by telling you what I think my problems are, telling you what my values are, and showing you how I’m going to take action to change and learn to be a fuller artist and, more importantly, a fuller person.

 

Budget & Incentives

$6,000!!! That's our goal and what we need to make this concept trailer happen! We have the vision, now we need to make it a reality! Films, even trailers, are expensive to make. Our team is working around the clock to find locations, equipment, cast and crew, catering, and so much more!

 

 

If you decide to donate, your money will go into one of these categories. We cannot make this trailer without YOUR HELP!

 

 

If you cannot donate, please show us your support by following our socials (at the bottom) to keep up with our crazy production, and share this posting with anyone you think would be able to help! :)

 

So Why Crowdfund a Concept Trailer?

This trailer is a proof of concept for the big-time dramedy web series "capital g great." The concept trailer is what we show to investors so they are more likely to fund the making of the real web series, and help them see our vision! capital g great, the real deal, is a 10-episode show with each episode at 15 minutes a pop! That's 150 minutes of content! That's more to shoot than your standard feature-length film. We'll be shooting the real web series in October of 2025 for 5 5-day weeks. But we can't do it without fundraising and crowdfunding! This proof of concept trailer will show you the vision and feel of the series as well as show you that we are legit!!! So please donate to the concept trailer! It'll help us create the real capital g great in the fall of this year!
