Finding Dipper is a comedy web series filmed and set in Fresno. It follows a couple, Toya and John Juan “JJ,” as they navigate the massive viral success of Dipper, an alien that most see as a gorgeous designer dog. The course of the show will pit our trio against adversity: determined FBI agents, mad scientists, a pesky landlord, egomaniacal bosses, and even a threat from Dipper’s homeworld, the villainous Skipper.
We’re a passionate group of filmmakers, storytellers, and dreamers from right here in the Central Valley, and we’re creating a web series that showcases the talent, culture, and heart of our region. But we can’t do it without you.
