Too often, queer youth of color, especially in the context of the American South, is only represented at its most traumatic. Band Practice shows another side of queer coming of age in the South - a side full of music, romance, and laughter.

In this film, A New Orleans majorette and her band geek best friend attempt to check item #1 off their senior year bucket list: KISS GIRLS. Band Practice is a lesbian coming of age romantic comedy intended to represent the joy and romance of Black & Asian queer youth in the American South.

Band Practice recently finished principal photography (meaning the whole film is shot and ready to go!) and now we just need $4,750 to hire an editor, a composer, pay for festival submission fees and copyright our film. It's been a long journey, but now that the hard part is over, we need your help to get across the finish line!

Band Practice provides another entry into a growing canon of work that relishes in the humorous and human complexities of lesbian adolescence. Your contribution to our campaign will help this ever-timely story tangibly come to life and get before audiences who need to receive its message.

For donors who contribute above $75, we'll also include your name in your special thanks at the end of the film!
