Aim

We're raising money for our LGBTQ+ short film, based on true stories, to be entered into film festivals.


An LGBTQ+ period short film, exploring relationships between queer and gender queer individuals who lived over the past century

Story breakdown: 2020's a group of queer friends celebrate Pride at an old English pub, the focal point for a century of LGBTQ+ history. They connect to a series of short stories from the past / 1920’s, an underground gay pub is interrupted by a police-raid / 1940’s, a trans man wants to enlist in the war / 1970's, a young woman operates a helpline for queer people / 1990’s, two friends are caught up in a bombing attack / Each story paints a picture of LGBTQ+ people who have always been around, surviving all kinds of challenges, and finding home and community in the face of adversity

Each story paints a picture of LGBTQ+ people who have always been around, surviving all kinds of challenges, and finding home and community in the face of adversity

Why is this film important now?

Love Wins serves as a reminder of how the LGBTQ+ community has gotten through historic struggles by sticking together

This is especially important in the wake increase transphobic attacks and murders, including Brianna Ghey’s murder, and the rapidly changing LGBTQ+ laws the globe is experiencing

We remind ourselves of the distances we have come at a time when our government chooses to outright neglect LGBTQ+ rights by dismantling the Stonewall Agreement and in light of the Supreme Courts most recent ruling, negatively impacting the trans+ community
