QUEEN'S ENGLISH
Web Series, Co-Produced with Tyler Dwiggins
About the Series: Queen's English is a queer web series about some messy queens trying to make it to adulthood in one piece - with money left over for Sunday mimosas.
The show follows Gabe, a party boy whose Catholic boyfriend Adam just dumped him for Jesus; Tucker, who just locked himself out of the apartment—in full drag; and Olivia, an actress who will probably become a star just after she cleans the ketchup off her shoes.
Queen's English has already amassed an international audience since its release in Summer 2019. The most popular episode, "Gold Star Gay", has received over 60K viewed. The series has been crowned top prizes at numerous festivals including Big Apple Film Festival, NYC Web Fest, and Everybody Digital Film Festival. The pilot script was recognized as a Semifinalist at Austin Film Festival, ranking in the top 2% of 12K+ scripts.
In addition to producing, Chris also directed Episode 6 of the series.
