FIRE ISLAND and Equality California: Fighting For Representation Onscreen and Off


Listen Later

Jared Milrad chats with the cast of Hulu's FIRE ISLAND, which tells the story of a group of queer best friends who gather in Fire Island Pines for their annual week of love and laughter, when a sudden change of events might make this their last summer in gay paradise. Actor/writer/executive producer Joel Kim Booster and actors Matt Rogers and Torian Miller open up about why this groundbreaking film is so important, how underrepresented talent can tell their own stories, and what needs to change in Hollywood to make it truly inclusive, equitable, and representative. PLUS: Jared interviews Tony Hoang, Executive Director of Equality California, who shares the nonprofit's life-changing work to advocate for LGBTQ+ equality - and why it decided to honor the cast of FIRE ISLAND at this year's Equality Awards in Los Angeles.
