Watch The Trailer For The First Airbnb Produced Documentary Film ‘GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH’
'GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH' captures the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus as they travel through the American deep south.
Directed by David Charles Rodrigues, GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH captures the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus as they traveled through the southeastern United States to perform on their Lavender Pen Tour, a multi-state and larger than life story showing the power of music to promote acceptance and belonging.
The tour was announced in response to a wave of discriminatory anti-LGBTQ laws and the divisive 2016 election
Rodrigues, producers Bud Johnston and Emmy- nominated filmmaker Jesse Moss, capture each step of the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus journey, which led to the development of GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH.
The 300-person gay men’s chorus, led by conductor Tim Seelig, went on a 10-day journey across Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. The film is all about taking music inside people’s homes, churches and concert halls to help inspire conversation around inclusivity.
As we’ve seen from the latest incarnation of Queer Eye, queer representation in this region of America is a hot and important topic — and as both this documentary also shows, can be a very meaningful and rewarding endeavour.
GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH recently premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
