Blackpills' dramedy series "Bonding," loosely based on the life experiences of Rightor Doyle (BARRY, YOU'RE THE WORST), who wrote, directed and executive produced the series is premiering at Outfest 2018. Zoe Levin (PALO ALTO, THE WAY WAY BACK), Brendan Scannell ("Heathers"), and Micah Stock ("Escape at Dannemora," BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON) star in the series. Set for release in 2018, Blackpills is the studio, co-producing with Anonymous Content.
"Bonding" tells the story of long lost high school BFFs who reconnect in an unexpected way. Pete (Scannell), a recently out gay man, and Tiff (Levin), a grad student, hope to pick up right where they left off. But Tiff has a little secret: she's one of New York City's top dominatrixes, and she's about to tie Pete up in her underground world of sexual secrecy and BDSM. These childhood friends will soon discover that they still have a lot of growing up to do. The series consists of seven episodes and was filmed on location in New York last Fall.
"This is the first time we've co-produced with Anonymous Content, and we are very proud of this collaboration. Recognizing the quality and treatment of the issues explored in the series and films they produce, this collaboration between blackpills and Anonymous Content holds the promise of good things to come," says Patrick Holzman, Founder of Blackpills.
