Filmmaker Statement

A lot of my childhood was spent in church camps. Like many LGBTQ+ youth, I struggled with being bisexual while also being involved in church life. I have been hesitant about making a film about my sexuality for as long as I’ve been making short films, but with this film, I wanted to take the leap. It was important to me to tell a comedic story about a bisexual protagonist, as many LGBTQ stories feature trauma in their depictions of queer people. Church camps are a ripe place for comedy, and most of this film stems from the real experiences I had in a Georgia church camp. I hope that all churches can become a safe place for LGBTQ youth, and that queer people can laugh at the playful jabs at church-isms by watching this film.
