David Kimple has launched Tiny Scripted, a new distribution company focused on short-form scripted films, series, and plays. Among the works in the company's launch catalogue are titles from Broadway artists, including Will Nunziata, Eric Ulloa, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, and more.
First up is Nunziata's The Old Guitarist. Starring Dominic Chianese and inspired by Pablo Picasso's painting of the same name, the film centers on a man reflecting on his past in search of forgiveness.
Also in the catalogue is Mikey's Army, written by Ulloa and directed by Keenan-Bolger. The work tells the story of a 16 year-old who is visited by a trio of glitzy guides to help him decide whether or not to be open about his feelings. The cast features RuPaul's Drag Race star Shuga Cain and Claybourne Elder.
Rounding out the inaugural slate of offerings are Jax Terry's The Invite, Courtney Alana Ward's Eat Pray Anal, Victor Malana Maog's Boop Boop, Here We Go, and five short films from director Lesley Demetriades.
As for the stage catalogue, the company has acquired works from Monet Hurst-Mendoza, Andrew Rincón, Samantha Cooper, Gianfranco Lentini, Becca Schlossberg, and Theresa Giacopasi.
Along with Kimple, staff includes Producer and On Screen Catalogue Channel Director Courtney Alana Ward and On Stage Catalogue Channel Director Samantha Cooper.
"We are dedicated to short-form, scripted work not only because there is a dearth of quality traditional-length content out there for distributors to acquire right now, but because we believe this is a good way to be of service to the creators in our industry," says Kimple in a statement. "Short-form content is notoriously difficult to make profitable, but Tiny Scripted is tackling this challenge head-on. There are a handful of organizations doing work to provide homes for short pieces, but few of them are continuously and proactively selling them the way we are. We acquire rights for films and series as well as plays and musicals for the stage because we believe that there is more synergy between these two industries than meets the eye. No matter the format, we want to help creators monetize these works."
The new company is taking submissions, specifically completed short films and plays ready for licensing. Kimple is focused on early-career clients and invites anyone with work to submit to visit TinyScripted.com.
