ABOUT
OUR SOLUTION
OUR MISSION.
Rewrite the BiLine aims to rewrite the narrative on bi+ people and non-nuclear families in film, television, and the media through consulting, public education, and investment in bi+ leaders in order to create lasting social and political change.
WHAT WE DO.
Creative & Script Consulting
We champion authentic and accurate representation of bi+ characters across film, television, and theatre.
Our work supports creators at every stage of the storytelling process—from page to stage and script to screen. We collaborate with writers, filmmakers, and theatremakers to develop bi-normative narratives and ensure inclusive and effective production practices. We organize roundtables and creative labs that bring together bi+ individuals with screenwriters, playwrights, and directors. We also offer script development support and ongoing consultation on set, on stage, and beyond.
Public Education
We produce reports, guides, and public panels to spark dialogue.
Bi+ people are the largest part of the LGBTQ+ community. Yet, we're still widely misunderstood and erased in media. We produce media reports, best practice guides, and public panels to spark industry dialogue on how to create more authentic bi+ characters and portray diverse families with openness, compassion, and accuracy.
Expanding Investment in Bi+ Leaders
The stories we tell shape how we see the world—and how we choose to invest in it.
The stigma bi+ people have faced on screen, on stage, and in the media is rooted in a lack of representation of bi+ people in positions of creative and financial power. Through fellowships for emerging writers and partnerships with news agencies, we provide a platform for bi+ people to help shape the political and cultural conversations of our time. ​
​
​​
At the same time, we work with funders, foundations, and investors to design and implement strategies that expand resources for LGBTQ+ communities—with a focus on bi+ people and non-nuclear families.
Policy Change
We believe that local, state, and national policies must reflect the realities of how people live and love.
For too long, laws and public benefits have centered on the nuclear family model. Our policy work aims to shift that. We provide research-driven guidance to local and state governments seeking to update laws and policies to be more inclusive of diverse family and relationship structures.
