The Queer French Persuasion
[Artist Statement] Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement OR answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..." (Max. 100 words)
This is what being young, queer and free means to me - especially in France on the Riviera.

This photo was taken of actor Courtney St. Gelais at our Airbnb in Cannes. We were screening our queer short film, SPIN, at the festival de Cannes when I had an impromptu photo session on the balcony.
