Web series represent the under-represented

Independently produced Web series give opportunities to the under-represented to represent themselves in multidimensional ways—people of color, people with disabilities, LGBT people, women of a certain age or who defy the Hollywood mold of beauty.

Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl and My Gimpy Life paved the way. Below are some trailers for Web series that I think will kick ass when they're done, and I hope you'll share the ones you feel are making waves being released right now.

Evolve is about an African American teen who gains supernatural powers.


And Sisters of Mercy is a Canadian production about two "underprivileged teens ... who gain power beyond their imagination."

    1. Thank you!

      I'm happy to see multiethnic casts, like in Bloomers: http://www.bloomerstheseries.com

      But I admire the cultural statement made by shows that are only (or predominantly) people of color in the cast, like C.A.K.E. the Series: http://youtu.be/2ArFGoQpJiQ

      It's a great expression of the democratic quality of the Web: to gain access regardless of power or status.

  3. Venus Spa had multiracial casts as well throughout it's history. Black, Latina, Asian, Metis, American Indian and East Indian respectively.
