BulletProof: A Lesbians Guide to Surviving the Plot dir. Regan Latimer/105min/Canada/2024
In ‘Bulletproof: A Lesbian’s Guide to Surviving the Plot,’ filmmaker Regan Latimer takes an insightful, funny and personal look at queer representation on television and media’s power to shape how we see ourselves. Witty, fast-paced and laced with pop culture references, Regan journeys across North America and beyond in her quest to understand the forces that influence the stories we see on our screens. Original animation and personal anecdotes are interwoven with wide ranging conversations with television insiders, LGBTQ+ community advocates and people who just love to watch TV. As Latimer navigates an ever-evolving media landscape, the filmmaker learns first hand that representation done well has the power to transform.
Featuring conversations with:KATHERINE BARRELL (Wynonna Earp, Workin’ Moms), NOELLE CARBONE (Rookie Blue, Saving Hope), ANNE CREIGHTON (President, Toronto Pflag), JILL GOLICK (President, Writer’s Guild of Canada), JAVIER GRILLO-MARXUACH (The 100, The Witcher), DR.
