Size Queen

Logline: When a thirty-something gay man’s viral rant about corporate life turns into a bold podcast, he rallies his three best friends in Los Angeles to tackle love, sex, friendship, and self-worth head-on.

The men of Size Queen are doing everything right...on paper.
They have jobs that sound like careers. They date constantly. They live in Los Angeles, chasing the lives they thought they’d have by now.

But they’re not quite happy.
Not quite settled.
Not quite who they thought they’d be.

While their straight friends pair off, get married, and start families, these men are stuck in a different loop, one of situationships, stalled ambition, and the quiet, creeping fear that maybe the life they imagined doesn’t actually exist for them.

Size Queen lives in that in-between: when you’re no longer young enough to be aimless, but not successful enough to feel secure, when you know exactly what you want, but have no idea how to get it, and when love, sex, and friendship start to blur in ways that are funny, messy, and sometimes a little devastating.

This 13-minute proof of concept introduces four distinct gay men, each with their own perspective on love, ambition, and identity, as they navigate that space together. Framed through Chris’s podcast, which explores the questions and confessions people rarely say out loud, the short sets the tone for a half-hour series about friendship, reinvention, and the search for a life that actually feels like your own.

Director Statement

Size Queen is just a taste of the pilot and series I want to make, a look at the lives of a group of queer friends. I made this film because I want to see more authentic queer people on screen, something the little Kenny growing up never had. This is my world, my friends, my life, and a story I hope others can recognize themselves in.

The film highlights the four friends, each with their own take on love, careers, relationships, and sex; a world that will unfold more in the full pilot and series. At the center is Chris, pursuing his creative passions, navigating hopes, insecurities, and desire. We focus on small, telling moments that reveal who they are, leaving the audience wondering what’s next, with bigger twists to come.

At its core, Size Queen is about connection, our shared messiness, the ways we shape each other through relationships, and the humor and tenderness of being human, no matter who we love. The series follows the friend group, each episode diving into a topic, thought, or chaos in their lives, explored through the podcast, Size Queen. This is a world I know, and one I want to share.
