Have all been filmed and are currently in the edit or ready for festivals.

Making these shorts with a community which we all personally connect with has been so rewarding and so much fun. We are all proud of the work our Q***r's have put into their work and love to see the space we created bringing so much joy, creativity and love.

We will continue to provide a much needed space for the Q***r community where people feel accepted , respected and free to create and we are so excited to see what films we will make next with our Reel Q***r community 🌈

"As a Q***r Black Woman, our voices matter too. Bringing not only Black joy, love & friendship into the spotlight but clapping back at the insidious encounters many minorities face. This film was about celebrating diversity & intersectionality. A dark skinned woman in front & behind the camera being unapologetic, understood & united. This is why visibility matters. Our stories, our community. Our magic!"
