Can a QUEER PERSON of COLOR and an AGING ASIAN FEMALE Broadway veteran once and for all help break the barriers of the ballroom world’s MALE as LEAD and FEMALE to FOLLOW. Can they usher it to the next level of TRUE GENDER EQUALITY?

SYNOPSIS:

FollowLeadLOVE is a Film that TRANSCENDS BEYOND the WORLD of DANCE, a Documentary that TACKLES THE NUANCES OF SOCIALLY AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT ISSUES OF OUR TIME such as INCLUSIVENESS, ACCEPTANCE, DIVERSITY, FEMALE EMPOWERMENT & EQUALITY

The world of ballroom competition serves only as the backdrop to reflect a much bigger and more significant message to our overall socio-cultural climate.

Our mission is for this film to become one of the catalysts to help start a civilized conversation not only to the Dance and Arts Communities but to a broader and wider audience such as the LGBTQI+ , Asian communities, African-American communities and the Female demographics.

This work is important especially in challenging times. We are making this film to provide the much needed REPRESENTATION, DIVERSITY and INCLUSION for they truly matter NOW

MORE THAN EVER. This project is currently in production stage.
