“Sirenetta: Part-Time Mermaid” is an independent feature film about Nettie Pearlman - a modern little mermaid who has been living humanly ever after on Cape Cod after leaving the ocean behind 10 years ago. When Archie, an anxious and frightened young merperson, makes their way to land in need of Nettie's help, she finds herself on a global adventure. With the help of her human fiance, Freckles, and her best friend, Calypso the Sea Nymph, Nettie will search the world for an ancient mermaid artifact that is the key to stopping Voda Yaga - an evil sea witch with plans of draining all life from the ocean.​

​

Our characters have been brought to life by an incredible voice cast:

Ashleigh Heaton and Blake Cordell return as Nettie and Freckles - roles they have played for over 10 years - with Blair Greene-Osako stepping into the role of Calypso. They are joined by world famous drag performers Jujubee and Jinkx Monsoon as Archie and Voda Yaga.
