Today’s conversation is about a bold new chapter in queer cinema! We talk to the new CinePride Film Festival's Arisce Wanzer. CinePride, debuts in September in Los Angeles. The four-day event promises to be a transformative celebration of authentic and diverse queer narratives, highlighting stories that challenge, inspire, and showcase the profound impact of LGBTQIA+ voices in cinema. Filmmaker, or film lover, Arisce is here with all the details today!
We also talk about Arisce's own amazing journey from trailblazing transgender model to being on CinePride's board of directors. Arisce starred in the groundbreaking Oxygen reality series Strut, which followed the lives and careers of transgender models. Her historic Spiegel campaign was featured on the show’s season finale. She also appeared in a variety of comedic shorts, web series, and independent films, and brought her trademark confidence and humor to MTV’s Ex on the Beach. Beyond modeling and acting, Arisce uses her voice as an advocate, speaking candidly about issues facing the trans community, particularly around dating, disclosure, and the challenges of being a public figure.
