The cast is headed by British Youtuber, musician and presenter Doug Armstrong as Jack. Doug is a YouTube content creator, and presenter who has reached over 400,000 followers across all his social media channels. He famously dealt with his sexuality in his EP It's Okey to Be Gay.

Full creative team to be announced.

Produced by Wiltax Productions.

Doug Armstrong (Jack)
Globe-trotting content creator, comedy songwriter & presenter Doug Armstrong has been sharing his gay life to his online audience for a number of years. Since first opening up about his sexuality in 2015, Doug has sought to inspire others to be comfortable being themselves, whatever their sexuality, and reminds everyone through his lighthearted comedy songs that it really is 'Okay To Be Gay'. When not singing to his 400,000 following or producing other LGBT-related content, you'll probably find Doug traveling the world posting photos to Instagram that might just make you want to visit somewhere sunny.
