Being named the chosen one is wonderful - unless you're trying to balance it out with friendship, dating, and a crushing case of imposter syndrome. Oh, and the feeling that the people who chose you are keeping some serious, potentially dangerous secrets.

What's the story?



A female chosen one is picked every 25 years to learn hex magic. A group of friends deals with life after one of them is chosen to be the Hexer - because this year a boy is chosen instead, and the group becomes more and more suspicious that they are being lied to.

What's the aim?

This campaign is to raise money for the pilot episode of the show. However, our secondary goal is to reach our $10k and 1k followers in order to participate in the Diverse Voices competition. The competiton could allow us to fund the rest of the series! Of course, any leftover pilot money will go into creating the rest of the show.

Creating the Show

Having a diverse cast and crew is hugely important to us. Progress towards fully diverse characters in mainstream television is slow, and we'd like to skip ahead - create a show with more than one token person of colour, or a LGBTQ+ character whose whole storyline revolves around their sexuality or gender. We are working hard to give good representation to minority groups, as well as giving accurate portrayals of mental heatlth issues like depression and anxiety. These are areas we have often been disappointed by in other series - and we are determined not to disappoint you.

Between the three of us we have studied writing, acting, and filmaking, and are supported by a large network of other filmakers. We have all been a part of the YouTube community for many years and have experience in filmaking on a budget. We all live and work in Cardiff, Wales, which is also where the series is set.

Character Bios

Some character's races may change depending on casting, but anyone listed here as non-white will always be non-white.

Freddie Gibson

[GENDER: GENDER FLUID] [AGE: 20-25] [RACE: MIXED]

Freddie begins as a stranger to the rest of the characters - she's involved in the suspicious behaviour of the previous Hexers, and she's not happy about it.

Reuben Krail

[GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 20-25] [RACE: WHITE]

Rue is 100% not expecting to be named as the Hexer. He takes up the role with great caution and ever-increasing suspicion that no-one's being especially honest with him.

Poppy Syed

[GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 20-25] [RACE: MIDDLE EASTERN]

Rue's childhood best friend and now-flatmate, the sudden introduction of Hexer pandemonium provides her a solid distraction from figuring out what she wants to do with her life.

Len Woodshal

[GENDER: MALE] [AGE: 23-26] [RACE: BLACK]

Enters the group to pursue Sarah, ends up dealing with Hexer-related chaos with great enthusiasm.

Anna Stewart

[GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 20-25] [RACE: BLACK]

Anna is 100% hoping to be named as the Hexer. When it doesn't happen, she turns to investigating the suspicious circumstances around Rue's naming.

Sarah Langley

[GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 20-25] [RACE: ASIAN]

Creator of parties, make-out enthusiast and Poppy's drinking buddy. Exercises the mantra, 'Don't touch my friends.'

Edith Palmer

[GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 50-60] [RACE: WHITE]

The Hexer-before-last, Edith is standoffish at best - and secretive at worst.

Florence Knight

[GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 35-45] [RACE: WHITE]

Florence is the last Hexer drawn before Rue. Friendlier than Edith, she teaches Rue the ins and outs of Hexing.
