In this episode of The Wider Lens, we’re shining a spotlight on queer film and TV with three passionate DGC Ontario Members: Director Pat Mills, Picture Editor Maureen Grant, and Production Manager Moe Rai. Over the last few years, there has been an extraordinary push for queer representation. Audiences all over the world are connecting with queer shows shot right here in Ontario, like Sort Of, Schitt's Creek, What We Do in the Shadows, and The Umbrella Academy. From behind the camera to the production office to the editing suite, Pat, Maureen and Moe shed light on what this surge in representation means for the community, the challenges they've encountered working within a predominantly straight and cisgender industry, the power of seeing yourself reflected authentically on screen, and the profound impact representation has for future generations.
