Current Project

Fruitbowl: An Oral History of Queer Sex

Logline

Fruitbowl is an archive-driven docuseries that explores the many ways queer people discover their sexual preferences and identities. Drawn from a deep library of original interviews with queer people about their coming of age, each episode represents a different stage of development including the moment we learn what sex is; first times; embarrassing hook-ups; first loves and all the stuff we wish we knew when we first came out.
