In one Reel Voices session, I was wearing my new rainbow Converse and as I looked down at my feet, the idea of rainbow capitalism suddenly hit me because it’s something that I realized is not really talked about as much as Pride as a whole, in general. I went through a lot of ideas, like Lunar New Year because my family’s Chinese the Del Mar fair, which is native to San Diego, but none of them really stuck. As we began to explore documentary ideas, I started thinking about social issues and prominent events in my life. I ended up buying a pair of the 2022 Pride collection Converse shoes. Q: Where did the idea to explore the topic of the commercialization of Pride come from? What motivated you in the creation of this film?Ī: Reel Voices started in June, which is Pride month, and right before, I started seeing a lot of stuff about Pride and advertisements for rainbow products, rainbow shirts, shoes, bracelets. I’ve definitely learned a lot from Reel Voices that I hope to continue to use in my life, and I hope that my documentary will be able to reach people and, hopefully, it will lead them to think more about their actions and consequences. I think film can just be so powerful because it starts with writing, but then you add even more dimension to it, so the ability to change someone’s mind is something that I think can be so influential, especially in today’s world. I think one of the most important things that I’ve grown to see myself, is how powerful that filming documentaries can be. We also learned stuff about documentary tone, your idea and how you want the audience to see your idea. Through Reel Voices, I learned the basics of filming, camera techniques and editing with Adobe Premier Pro. What did you learn about yourself and filmmaking during that eight weeks?Ī: I went into Reel Voices with no experience, aside from iMovie school projects.
