About
Before the trends, the think pieces, the corporate pride campaigns, queer artists were already shaping the culture. We've always been the bloodline of the arts. And now that it's no longer "safe" to back us? We're still here. Studios are pulling funding. DEI commitments are disappearing. Platforms are questioning whether our stories are "too niche." But queer creators have never needed permission to create. We didn't wait for the industry on the way up, and we won't wait for it on the way out. This panel brings together those who are going after their own distribution, running their own ads, and turning legacy into leverage. Moderator: Jazelle Foster Panelists: Tery Wilson, Lane Stanley, Nana Duffuor Tery Wilson is a multi-award-winning DP, Producer, Editor, and Web Designer based in Atlanta.
