Poly People - Emmy® 2021 FYC - Trailer
A polyamorous relationship of four people face trials and tribulations in their own uniquely comedic ways.
ABOUT POLY PEOPLE:
Poly People is an LGBTQ+ mockumentary comedy series about the daily life of four people in a polyamorous relationship. Its characters each have different sexual identities but fall in love and take each other as lovers and partners. Conceived in the depths of the pandemic by Melissa Girard, a lesbian writer with a shameless sense of humor, the magic started when Melissa approached Brazilian director/actor, Thales Corrêa, to produce her show. Thales right away contacted his partner Anthony Moore who also writes, produces, and acts along with Thales, Andrea Flowers, and Ilona Kulinska, and voila! The bootstrapped production is ready for prime time.
THE MAKING OF POLY PEOPLE:
Poly People employs 85% queer, female, and #POC identified people in front and behind the camera, and a strong representation of a #nonbinary character. The seven-part series was shot in two days and a half, self-financed by Thales Corrêa with the little remainings of his savings account. He bet everything into getting his voice from the page onto the screen.
#LOVEWINS has never been so well represented. In this show, the four characters have different sexual identities but they fell in love and took each other as lovers and partners. See? Love won!
