The NO APOLOGY Project
The NO APOLOGY Project is an invitation to explore one's own inner beauty through music and learn to live more unapologetically.
Our Mission

NO APOLOGY ~ The TV Series
NO APOLOGY ~ The TV Series
A coming-to-life story
Season: 1
Episodes: 6
Genre: Fantasy Musical Dramedy
Network: TBD
NO APOLOGY is a genderqueer fantasy musical dramedy TV series in development.
An aspiring gay indie rock star struggles with self-identity, his career, and frequent visits from his gender-fluid imaginary “muse”.
When opportunity suddenly knocks, Zach's pop music career finally begins to take flight, sending him down a deeper path of desire, fantasy, and self-confrontation.
In the spirit of ROCKETMAN and HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, NO APOLOGY is a music-induced journey about discovering one’s own inner beauty and learning to live more unapologetically.
New Opportunities
Compelling storytelling paired with a single-artist soundtrack has yet to be done in a television series.
Diversifying the content and mediums while delivering compelling stories generates new opportunities for building an engaging fanbase and generating revenue that will reduce overall investment risk.
NO APOLOGY is a single-season series with a minimum of six (6) episodes and the opportunity to create additional seasons with continued storylines within the NO APOLOGY theme framework. Season one (1) of NO APOLOGY creates a playbook to inspire the possibility of new seasons featuring different storylines as well.
Theme & Tone
NO APOLOGY's theme and tone explore the complexity of mental health issues we're facing today. It blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, invites audiences in at every angle, and tugs at your heartstrings through flashbacks, recurring dream sequences, and emotionally charged musical sequences that are the rhythmic heartbeat of its universality.
Comparisons
NO APOLOGY echoes the anxiety-altered surrealism of ROCKETMAN, the defining traumatic past of MOONLIGHT, the hopeful-heart musical cadence of ONCE, the unapologetic wit and honesty of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH – and the gender non-conformity of today's emerging culture.
