P&G: The Pause

“The Pause” is calling out the struggle of hesitation that the LGBTQ+ community experiences every day before deciding how much of themselves to reveal to those around them. The film encourages people outside of the community to notice, reflect and realize how their reactions can make a difference. Because #Pride is much more than a single event or a moment, it’s a movement to advance equality and serve as a catalyst to fight bias.

Egale Canada Human Rights Trust: Coming Out

Coming out can be difficult and complicated, and it’s not something most cis-gendered, heterosexual Canadians have insight into. According to a recent study from Egale Canada, over 80% of LGBTQ+ individuals have felt distress related to their sexual orientation or gender identity, and 54% haven’t come out to their colleagues for fear of being rejected or bullied. To bring attention to this issue, we created a film made entirely of user submitted footage that looks like it’s speaking to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. But in reality, it highlights the emotional struggles we’ve all had during the COVID-19 quarantine, in order to show its parallel with the much more challenging isolation LGBTQ+ people go through when they can’t come out as who they are.
