Expertise
In the last several years, I have spoken at dozens of film festivals, community centers, and universities– both in person and over Zoom. During the Q&A and afterwards, I have witnessed queer community members of all ages and our allies connecting in beautiful ways, which was my goal with the film from the beginning.
