TWELVE is a limited series centered on a 2040 community grappling with the creation of a post-capitalist, ecological economy that attempts to meet everyone's basic — and differing — needs.
TWELVE is a limited series set circa 2040, following the Great Collapse of the global economy. In what was formerly Northern California, a community grapples with the creation of a non-capitalist, ecological economy where everyone has access to free housing, food, and healthcare. The story is anchored in twelve characters that embody each of the zodiac archetypes, with each episode told from the perspective of a different character.
Florencia Manóvil is an Oakland-based Latina writer-director whose work expresses a yearning to evolve societal paradigms, through a queer ecofeminist lens.

In 2015 she was named “Best East Bay Filmmaker” for her web series DYKE CENTRAL, lauded by press and fans for its groundbreaking representation of diverse LGBTQ characters.
Born and raised in Argentina, Manóvil moved to the U.S. to study film at Emerson College on an Honors scholarship. Based in the SF Bay Area since 2007, she’s active in her local film community and passionate about sustainable and equitable practices.
