# Single, Out

Single, Out is an Australian comedy drama television series created by Lee Galea and produced by Indie Melbourne Productions. The series follows Adam, a young man who comes out as gay following his first sexual experience.

## Plot

When Adam falls in love with his brother's best friend, Josh, he learns to embrace his true identity and comes out to his family. However, when he decides to change the theme of his upcoming art exhibition, it becomes apparent that Adam and Josh have different expectations. Meanwhile, we follow Adam at work and while hanging out with his friends as he embarks on a self-discovery journey.

## Production

Galea wrote the first draft of Single, Out in August 2020 while in lockdown in Melbourne. In the same month he had cast Will Hutchins, Steven Christou and Jake Hyde to play the leads in the show. Most of the rehearsals were done via Zoom.
The filming of season 1 began on March 3, 2021, and concluded in July 2021. The series was mostly self financed by Galea with the help of family, friends and crowdfunding via Kickstarter campaigns.
