5 YEARS OF NEPTUNE3... WHAT NEXT?

We're 5 years in. Neptune3 Studios and Best Friends in the World are both 5 years old as of July 14, 2023-- a date we fondly refer to as 'New Girl Day' here at the office.

Many of you have followed us since day one, and you already know our story. It's been a grace-filled journey and we're so grateful. But now that we've aired BFW: Senior Year, what more does Neptune3 Studios have to offer?

Before we get into it, subscribers have been enjoying blooper content from the BFW series. If you're not keeping up on YouTube, you need to catch up!

Okay. Now I'll tell you what's new. And I hope you're ready because we'll need your usual maximum participation on all fronts: whether engaging online, offering skilled services in the office/on set (paid opportunities), or showing up for auditions... it's all hands on deck for the new phase.

Speaking of auditions, we're kicking things off with a couple of short films. Yes, 2 projects for our loyal YouTube audience. And you, the fans, have the opportunity to be part of it whether behind the scenes or on camera. (Be sure to follow on social media for relevant updates).

No long talk, here are the deets:

PROJECT 1

SYNOPSIS: Two sisters determine if their relationship is worth straining over the matter of a boy.

OFURE (15, FEMALE) - Scowling, brooding teen with big emotions, sometimes aggressive and defensive in a bid to protect her feelings but usually still ends up getting hurt.

ADUWA (17, FEMALE) - Self-absorbed and easygoing without a care in the world, looking for fun, and is all about living her best life

PROJECT 2

SYNOPSIS: A shy, naive girl faces two unknowns for the first time: secondary school and the Crimson Tide.
