| Short Synopsis: |
Anti LGBTQIA+ bills moving through state houses across the country are targeting queer Americans at home, at work and at school. CBS came to us with a strong desire to take a stand in support for the queer community, but without knowing what stories to tell or how. First, we brought on Zen Pace as Creative Director for the project. As a member of the queer community themselves, Zen started with the feeling that these anti-LGBT laws make queer folks feel “erased.” We ran with the concept of erasure, designing our stories around the visual metaphor of talent momentarily vanishing from the scene. CBS loved the concept, and we immediately started an outreach campaign by contacting individuals directly through social media. Although we were telling “real stories of real people,” each story was explicitly boarded out, each location scouted and set dressed, and every moment thoughtfully directed. |
