APE MEDIA ORIGINALS
We commissioned two filmmakers to create positive and visible film shorts
relevant to the lives of LGBTQIA+ identified young people of colour, to educate the UK about LGBTQIA+ issues
Just Like Me – Ape Media Original
Filmmaker, Nelly Rodrigues (also known as Naomi Estrela) presents ‘Just Like Me’ an exploration of how (mostly) black (and Filipino) LGBTQIA+ / gender-nonconforming people are at times faced with the decision of choosing their heritage or their identity; and at that crossroad, being forced to discover their own identity and belonging. This is the homecoming of that intersection and demonstration of queer black joy.
Visible – Ape Media Original
Filmmaker, Brittney Hall presents Visible a documentary exploring how it feels to be Young, Queer and A POC in today’s society and if they feel represented within the British Media.
