New series explores the funny side of being trans

The Switch

The Switch: Work, Love, Mortal Danger is not your typical sitcom.

The series was created by trans individuals, starring trans actors, under the helm of a trans director. And they all hope that people will see the humanity and humor in the characters and stories they have created.

The series follows Sü, who flees Trump’s America to come out and restart her tech career in Canada -- only to wind up unemployed and crashing on the couch of her ex, Chris (an ecoterrorist). What follows is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, as well as dodgy employment, dumpster diving, nosy cops, murdered oil lobbyists, sci-fi hallucinations, and a problematic boyfriend.
 
"It’s unashamedly geeky, defiantly hopeful, proudly political, and above all, it’s funny," said Amy Fox, the series' showrunner.
 
The Switch is available on Vimeo, Revry, and will soon be available on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon.
 
"Our goal with this campaign is to finance a second season, then a third, and so on," Fox explained. "Our goal with the series is to change TV storytelling, dragging it kicking and screaming into a future full of awesome.
 
"What we hope people will take away from The Switch is that trans media by trans people is just plain good entertainment. What you didn’t think was possible -- it’s possible. We made it when we were broke. And we know you’ll love it."
 
We think this might be an online series actually worth checking out.
