This short comedy film was created and produced by Kacie Calhoun and Miranda Plant. They are both actresses in NYC, and passionate about telling stories about strong female protagonists who just don’t give a f&*ck.
Miranda and Kacie met while working on a feature film, set in the 1960s. Miranda in heels, and Kacie not, the women stood at just about 6 feet tall each, and being the only two people at eye level, they became fast friends.
Kacie is from California and has a background in Film Production, having spent 7+ years working with some of the top production companies in tinsel town. Now she’s an actress and filmmaker in NYC having written, produced and starred in the feature film Merryland (November 2016). She also recently appeared in the Off-Broadway production of Let Us Talk at the Roebuck Theatre. She will graduate from the William Esper Studio in 2017.
Miranda is from Toronto, Canada and just finished her MFA from the Actor’s Studio Drama School. She’s performed Off-Broadway in her thesis production of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, and has travelled the country to perform in regional Shakespeare productions. She is best known for her work on Pure Pwnage, a comedy web-series about video gamers in Toronto. You’re Coming Out… Right? will be Miranda’s first work as a film writer, director, and producer.
We wrote this piece for a number of reasons:
Your contributions not only go towards our outstanding costs, but they also go towards supporting women in film, and comedy. You will be participating in the change that needs to take place with the way young married women are portrayed in film and TV. Our characters are not subservient, unhappy, or embittered. They are happily married young women in NYC, who just don’t give a f&*k. When was the last time you saw that on Netflix?
We don’t need you to pay for everything. We just need your help raise $1,620 to cover the costs that arose unexpectedly outside our budget. Here’s what $1,620 buys us:
$10- A public thank you on Facebook

And that’s all we can ask for.
