S3 E17 - Devin Tau Talking "Who's On Top?" and LGBTQ+ Stories


Listen Later

Devin Fei-Fan Tau is the director of "Who's On Top?" which is a feature-length documentary that shines a spotlight on a diverse group of the LGBTQ+ community to challenge stereotypes about gender and sexuality in outdoor recreation.

Historically excluded and ostracized as not belonging to the adventurer community, the climbers tackle not only a mountain, but assumptions about who they are and how they belong to the world of outdoor sports.

This film portrays a journey like no other, a never-before-told story about what makes LGBTQ+ folks both distinct and connected, facing physical, mental and societal obstacles.

Devin tells us about his own coming out story, a vocation of filmmaking, and his profound love of the Pacific Northwest.

"Who's On Top?" will be available for streaming and on DVD and Blu-Ray May 18th.
