Student Voices. Queer Experiences.
From the beginning of the program to the end of the two-week San Francisco immersion, student programmers touched on their experiences through ruminative blog posts and informal, in-the-moment, unedited video reflections. They highlighted their experiences traveling to San Francisco, exploring the Castro District, and even losing themselves in a larger, brighter Queer community to shape and re-shape who they are.

At the Frameline QT brunch, I was surrounded by a number of women and trans folk—filmmakers from all over the world—directors, producers, and actors who brought their films to the Frameline film festival, I couldn’t help but ask, “what is the most important piece of advice you would give to a budding new filmmaker?”

The Sum of Our Parts

I grew up white-trailer-trash, we were poor, and our seven family members lived in a two-bedroom, single bath trailer 10’ wide by 55’ long.

Expectations of my Third Frameline Film Festival
I have been privileged to attend the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco the past two summers, each with a somewhat distinct personality.
