About This Project

Summary

The Sound of the Stonewall Uprising is a short film celebrating the music of the Stonewall era and its impact on the LGBTQ+ community. We refurbished a historic jukebox from the Stonewall Inn, collaborated with DJ Honey Dijon for a curated playlist, and aimed to highlight LGBTQ+ visibility and community pride. Combining historical authenticity with contemporary storytelling, the project resonates by offering a fresh perspective on Stonewall's legacy through music.

Goals & Objectives

The goal of this film was to celebrate the Stonewall era's cultural impact through curated music. Our goal was to produce a short film highlighting LGBTQ+ resilience, love, and pride by blending historical authenticity with modern narrative to offer a fresh perspective on Stonewall.

Results & Impact

This project had an impact with the queer community by authentically portraying the cultural resonance of the LGBTQ+ rights movement through curated music and storytelling. It's familiar but new at the same time. The community is interested in its history.
