About us
Bulldog Productions is proud to announce its latest initiative The Bow, a brand-new ad driven streaming platform, free to all users, that will feature elevated original content created for queer people by queer people. In addition to content, The Bow will also offer a user experience unlike any you’ve seen, hosting community based social media functions and interactive resources that will revolutionize queer living and create connection on a global scale. The Bow subscribes to the notion that the only cure for homophobia is education and the platform aims to do just that: educate. The Bow, as in the end of the rain(bow), will be a place where allied corporate partners will have the opportunity to join forces to support true excellence in Canadian queer film and television. Canada is a leader in the fight for equal rights of 2SLGBTQI+ people, yet when it comes to queer entertainment, there is a stark void. Mainstream media still depicts queer stories as niche and by ghettoizing queer content we are perpetuating the harmful notion of shame surrounding the queer experience. The Bow saw that void as their opportunity to support this deserving audience, while providing a platform for Canadian 2SLGBTQI+ talent. Content created under The Bow umbrella will be easily accessible to everyone, creating a safe space for audiences to connect with the content while raising positive awareness for corporate partners. “Growing up, the queer content I watched on TV validated my experiences and gave me hope to know that in time I’d be able to live the life I saw reflected in these stories.”said The Bow founder and Bulldog Productions Creative Director Matthew McLaughlin. “However, as most 2SLGBTQI+ content is hidden behind a paywall, many youths today aren’t as fortunate. Through both our original programming and interactive functions, we hope that queer youth feel seen and supported by our platform, empowering them to live their authentic life from the very beginning.”
