Noting the marked dearth of queer Asian characters in current TV series, Curtis Casella and Kyle Cabral asked, «Where are all the queer people of colour?» then created a series of their own, «Paper Boys», where nearly three quarters of the cast and crew were Asian-American, African-American, Latino, or trans.

Dekkoo.com, the global streaming media service catering to queer men, will launch the six-episode first season of «Paper Boys», a romantic San Francisco-based dramedy about discovering who you are–and, with a newfound magical power–becoming who you want to be.

Synopsis «Paper Boys»

«Paper Boys» tells the story of Cole, who, in a brash decision, secretly moves to San Francisco under the guise of his straight best friend’s engagement party to escape a dead-end career and the memories of a passionate summer fling with a boy in New York.

But when he arrives, he runs into the former fling and old feelings resurface. And after his friend, Daren, reveals his engagement was an accident, Cole uses the mysterious powers of a re-discovered sketchbook to try to put their lives back on track, whatever the consequences.
