In Production

From celebration to terror to resistance, We Broke The Frame traces how queer filmmakers across five decades transformed the way their communities are portrayed on screen—told through the perspective of a filmmaker who came of age during the AIDS epidemic, shaped by the films he grew up watching.


Grounded in the often-overlooked story of lesbian and gay documentarians in the 1970s, the film opens a cinematic dialogue across generations about how documentary shapes who we are.
