HALLELUJAH - A CircusQueer Film Gay Love, Hate & Religion (2019)
“Hallelujah”
is a circus/queer film about religion and the importance of choosing kindness
regardless of our differences or beliefs. Religion is a tough subject for many
in the LGBTQ community, and this piece is a reflection of the struggle and
rejection we often feel. It tells the story of an individual troubled by the
hate in the world and his partner who is fighting to lift him up, to remind him
he is beautiful exactly how he is. My message is that religion should inspire
more kindness and open arms, even towards those you may not understand.
My goal is to create art that inspires a kinder world for the queer community by challenging social norms, raising questions and starting conversations. I am creating a series of conceptual videos about gender identity, human nature, queer culture and how the world treats individuals who are “different” but exactly the same. Please subscribe and stay connected through instagram/facebook to help make future projects possible! By creating performance art that evokes emotion, I hope to deliver important social messages and open minds towards a kinder future.
