Mia Culpa
Six-part Web Series, 2020
Embedded Files
OUTLINE
Mia Culpa - a play on the Latin phrase ‘Mea Culpa’ - meaning ‘through my fault/my bad’ - is a six-episode tragi-comedy web series. Our protagonist, Mia, in her early 20s, is a budding counsellor whose passion is helping people, when in reality she could really do with some help herself.
The first season of the series is about young people figuring out their place in the world, and the modern day issues they face: anxiety, problem-solving, sex and relationships, and dealing with failure. Oh, and gelato! Don't forget the gelato!
