“Love Is” Honored at San Francisco’s Gay Pride Celebration

Katie G. Nelson July 8, 2018

LGBT activists and allies continue sharing our film “Love Is: A Message from Uganda’s Gay & Transgender Community” across the world with this month’s major screening occurring at The SFO Museum in San Francisco, California.

Screening in tandem with the city's famous gay pride celebration, “Love Is” is called one of the “finest examples of short-form documentary filmmaking” that offers “a message that is powerful and inspiring”.

Thanks again to The SFO Museum for selecting our film and make sure to check back for more documentary work from Josh and I in the coming months.

“Love Is: A Message from Uganda’s Gay & Transgender Community” has been shown at nearly a dozen film festivals in Asia, Africa and the Americas. It was also featured in National Geographic’s Short Film Showcase, 2017.

My war with Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Minnesota

It’s a strange feeling, spending an entire decade in unimaginable pain, only to have everything you’ve lost — your spirit, your passion, your sense of feeling human — quietly return to you.

But that’s what happened on January 26, 2012, the day I got my life back.

On Assignment: Crocodiles and Rain Runners

The clouds began churning dark waves as Ojaoro, a former fisherman, gave us a tour of his farm.
