Web-Based Tello Films Offers Lesbian Focused Content

This caught my eye – a Huffington Post interview with the fabulous Debra Wilson (my favorite on the late, lamented MADtv). Media company tello films has a mission to provide lesbian focused content, by and about lesbian lives.
tello films produces and distributes innovative, high-quality web series with a lesbian focus.
It has been our storytelling policy from our inception in 2007 that we would never have programming that ends with the death of a lesbian character. We have stood by that promise and are proud that we continue to support our community in authentic representation.
We believe in telling authentic stories about people whose lives are often ignored or marginalized.
tello creates web-series specifically for the lesbian/queer community. This means that lesbian/queer characters are front and center. This means that the stories we tell respect the range and variety inherent in being queer.
Why lesbian stories? Because we love lesbians and we don’t feel there are enough of them. Sure, sometimes lesbians are thrown in as side characters or show up on ‘very special episodes’ of your favorite shows, but lesbians and lesbian-specific issues are rarely at the center of mainstream television, movies, or web series.
