Welcome to another edition of the Fred&Dan Blog! Our mission with Fred&Dan Productions and this blog has always been to make people think in ways they’ve never done before - to spark creativity and facilitate conversation in unconventional ways. A place where you can open up your email and have a bit of creativity to take with you into your day or week!  

Today we want to jump right in with a project that we are SO EXCITED to announce. 

We wrote before on the blog that we are putting together and publishing a new zine called SUBLIMINAL. Today we are beyond pumped to announce that we are partnering with the amazing non-profit organization Access RJ for this zine! 

ACCESS Reproductive Justice is a non-profit dedicated to removing barriers to sexual and reproductive health care and building the power of Californians to demand health, justice, and dignity. 

Since the beginning of the 20th century, zines have been a way for people to subvert mainstream media narratives by publishing independently and focusing on accessibility for all. 

The Fred&Dan zine is an extension of our mission to bring creatives together and allow space for fellow artists while subverting and pushing readers to "think differently." 

Partnering with Access RJ amplifies the Fred&Dan mission to empower and give a voice to women; because when you educate and empower women, you educate and empower societies.

For the first time, we are printing physical copies of the zine and selling them on our site! All proceeds will be donated directly to Access RJ to help in their fight to secure access to reproductive health!! 

The zine is available for pre-order on our site and will be officially released on October 31st! Because, as you know, witches and women’s rights just go together. 

We’re excited to accept submission from any and all artists for the zine!! Email us here. 

Now for a quick note on the strike: The AMPTP strikes again. While it seemed like things were headed in the right direction with the talks that occurred last week, the AMPTP then decided to leak their proposals to the press. Many members of the WGA saw this not as a move of transparency, but as a ploy to get members to turn on each other. It’s still completely unclear when this strike will end, but the writers are still going strong. This week while driving into work I saw some of the largest numbers of strikers I’ve seen all summer. 

As always, make sure you follow us on Instagram for more updates on the plethora of projects we’re working on! Byeeeee.
