What is THE THROWAWAYS?
Despite the recent repeal of DADT and President Obama’s support of gay marriage, gay kids are still being bullied, harassed, and thrown out of their homes because of their sexuality. THE THROWAWAYS follows straight-A, straight-laced, and anything but straight Olivia in a post-“It Gets Better” world on her quest to find a safe place to be herself. In addition to showcasing the still tenuous nature of LGBT acceptance in the U.S., THE THROWAWAYS highlights the comedy and comfort to be found in new friends and allies.
THE THROWAWAYS showcases a cast of highly talented and fresh-faced Chicago actresses anchored by an appearance by tello favorite Bridget McManus. Produced by tellofilms.com. Story by Julie Keck, Jessica King, and Christin Mell. Written by Julie Keck & Jessica King. Directed by Jessica King.
