Experiencing Interruptions?

Velvet Flowers

Drop into the world of four unassuming queer co-workers as they run a popular flower shop in West Hollywood, while moonlighting as the boulevard’s rising supplier of designer drugs.

An orchid for your office or ketamine for your anniversary weekend, Velvet Flowers delivers between La Brea and La Cienega—no fuss— until their product falls short of bloom, and their turf is threatened by an anonymous source.

It’s our turn to be the nightmare.
We’re not here to fix you—we’re here to ruin you.
Never in media has there been a queer drug ring that exploits the harmless gay perception to advance their criminality—selling drugs, gaining power, and making dirty money off the radar.

VELVET FLOWERS does just that.
