Mission
Founded by queer filmmaker Zoey Walker, ZoCo Studios is a production company aimed at bringing authentic queer representation to all areas of filmmaking. As a gender-fluid and masculine presenting actor, Zoey realized early on that they regularly get auditions and bookings for queer roles that are looking for a "stereotypical lesbian" and rarely gets auditions for cisgender or heterosexual roles, making their pool of opportunity very small. Often in the film world, cisgender/heterosexual people are cast in queer roles, further narrowing this pool of opportunity for Zoey and people like them.
ZoCo Studios works on queer-centric and ally-centric projects where queer identifying talent and crew members are not only strongly encouraged to apply, but specifically sought out. As a producer, Zoey takes special care during the casting process to ensure a radically safe space both on and off set for all of the queer talent participating in their projects.
If you are planning to represent the queer community in your next film or project, feel free to reach out to us to collaborate or to ask questions about making your next set a safe space for queer folks. ZoCo Studios can help with: reviewing scripts to align them with queer culture, casting authentic talent and crew, providing suggestions and insights for on-set procedures to create a safe space, and producing your whole project from start to finish.
