GG: NWFF’s mission is “to celebrate and support the fair representation of women in film, and to provide a platform for historically marginalized voices.“ How do you believe your film coincides with this mission?
RD: I think “Frosting” aligns with the NWFF’s mission “to celebrate and support the fair representation of women in film, and to provide a platform for historically marginalized voices” because it centers on queer characters and does so in a very loving, honest, and sympathetic way. The characters in this story are not perfect. They are miscommunicating, misunderstanding, and figuring things out as they go – the queer community is not a monolith and I think this project touches on the complexities that all humans experience.
Stories are a great way to empathize with others and get a peek into another world. I think film is a fabulous medium for that.
