WHOWHATWHEN • WHEREWHYHOW

In March of 2023, we held an exclusive screening of Stardust & Sh*t - a proof of concept pilot for our limited series The Slumber Party. The theatre was sold out and the episode received a standing ovation. Meetings with companies, agencies and streamers including UTA, Legendary Television and Netflix were on the calendar with the prospect of getting the full series bought. Three weeks later, the WGA went on strike shortly followed by SAG.

And, just like that, any hopes for The Slumber Party were put to bed (for now).

Over the last ten years, we have cultivated what can only be considered a legitimate filmmaking family. We’ve shared in the exhilaration of production as well as supported each other through life’s challenging moments, both professionally and personally. And we do not want the current climate of Hollywood to stop us from doing what we love. Some people go on vacations, some collect Pokémon cards, some play golf. We make films.

Who knows what the industry will look like in another ten years; heck, even five. The only certainty is that, through the hard work, dedication and love of our Yo Fiesto Family (and the patronage of people like yourself), this show will exist forever as a complete work of artistic expression, a time capsule of this moment in our lives and a reminder that tough times don’t last, but tough people do.

Also, making this show will unquestionably be one of the greatest experiences of our lives.
