We're sick of supporting roles | Gaven Simon
Sometimes things don't go as planned... Gaven and I recorded this back in July, 2021 with the intent of highlighting good examples of representation in Film/TV, finding how bad examples could improve, and posing solutions to the queer representation problem(s) the community continues to face.
Gaven ultimately made the call not to post this collab back in July due to our unpreparedness and the fact that we cannot fully speak on the topic, given our backgrounds. We realized that this episode would have been rounded out by a person of color who can speak on the subject from their point of view. Eventually we'll reconvene and rework this conversation to be even more representative.
I have concluded what I see to be 'Season 1' of Coffee with Zach, and thought this would be a good 'bonus episode' to include. Coffee with Zach was started on authentic conversation, and I had to remember not every conversation is the same. Some are smooth, some are rocky, some are funny, some have zoom glitches every 3 seconds, some don't have great audio due to technical constraints... the list goes on... but they are ALL authentic.
While this episode may not have gone exactly as we planned, I still wanted to hit the upload button as it is still very much a piece of the wholistic Coffee with Zach 'conversation' I've worked so hard to create through genuine connection, coffee, and community. It would be discrediting to not share it out of my own fear that it wasn't good enough, didn't fully capture the topic at hand, etc. We tried our best, but sometimes we need to reframe, reset, and redo.
Please enjoy this conversation, and I hope you find some takeaways! I learned I need to watch more movies... almost every film Gaven mentioned I had not seen. I cannot wait to share an update on this conversation!
