'Every character was us trying to create a three-dimensional version of the people that we love.' gentefied creators lindayvette + ElMarvinLemus on how the show came to be:
and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in the Short Form Episodic Showcase. But instead of becoming available to watch online, they workshopped the series into a half-hour format. It officially sold to Netflix and began development in 2017. A few years later, it’s finally available for the world to watch.caught up with Linda and Marvin to discuss adapting their original concept into something for the streaming service, chasing their own dreams, and more.
With the TV series, we wanted to create a hybrid that would allow us to live with certain characters throughout the whole series, but that would also give us the opportunity to lean into certain characters for certain episodes. With this series, we brought three characters from the digital series who turned into cousins. Pop, who was the grandfather, became a new character that we brought in.
With Erik, Chris and Ana, we were able to dig into figuring out where on the spectrum they lie. Chris is very much the very dream-driven. Nothing's going to stop me. Family comes second in a sense. But we were going to test that for him, whereas Erik is very much family first, and then I think Ana's a little bit somewhere in the middle, one foot in each door a little.
We wanted people to, in a short time span, to feel the same losses that we've felt as people that have grown up around here. As you see businesses go, and you see neighbors leave because they can't afford the rent anymore, and they're moving out to Bakersfield and Fresno, and God knows what else. They're having to move away to places and start over again. And we wanted folks in the audience to kind of feel that subconsciously, consciously, every moment possible.
