Untitled Gay Retiree Documentary can be a catalyst for social change in government policy, public perception, and personal attitudes. The goal is to portray our subjects in an honest, accurate, and dignified manner. As part of the LGBTQ community, I hope to take a sensitive, intimate perspective and work towards positive change.
