Steve Sumpton, Through the Screen (Art (2018))

First times are difficult to manage. It is the fear of others’ perceptions that raise the alarm. Regardless if these perceptions are from loved ones or from society, these opinions matter because it influences our identity. Follow an ensemble of unknowns who encounter their first times in various situations: the first time returning home, the first time being honest, the first time enjoying the company of others. Then lend to the storyline by defining what may happen next. Inspired by true events, THROUGH THE SCREEN reveals an autobiographical queer story about coming out to family and friends and then seeking connecting within the LGBTI community.
