ABOUT THE FILM
MAKE AN IMPACT
There are individuals of all identities around the world that stand to be affirmed, uplifted, and empowered by BeBe’s story.
At a moment when the backlash against gender expansiveness is extra heightened in the U.S. and abroad, our aim is for the unique and positive representation in this film to be a useful tool supporting efforts to make the world a safer place for all the “Baby BeBes” out there.
Why host a screening?
Unlike watching a film at home alone, hosting an in-person or virtual screening event (including a fireside chat / panel discussion) is a powerful way to strengthen mutual understanding & belonging at work.
Hosting a screening of BEING BEBE, with Marshall (aka BeBe), the filmmaker, and your team all sharing interactively is an especially unique, uplifting and memorable experience.
BEING BEBE is a film that:
- Challenges stereotypes & prejudice
- Represents, destigmatizes & empowers diverse gender expression
- Inspires persistence, self-acceptance & empowerment
- Celebrates the value & power of art
- Models family acceptance & love
“This necessary documentary comes at a time when drag performances are being threatened with anti-LGBTQ laws. A drag queen story told with integrity is exactly the positive representation we could all use right now.”
– Judy Bokao, Matthew’s Place,
A Program of the Matthew Shepard Foundation
“BEING BEBE is a thoughtful and heartfelt film about the importance of being proud of who you are and willingness to take risks. It’s a touching, inspiring reminder of the power of sharing our worlds, experiences, and unique stories. We were fortunate to have an in-person screening and honest discussion with the filmmaker and star which made it especially impactful for our community.”
– Betty’s Family Network, General Mills’ LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group
“BeBe’s stories are told beautifully, and are able to deeply resonate with any audience member…Emily and team were absolutely fantastic to work with, by far one of the best groups that I have coordinated with. I would highly recommend this program to anyone that is interested.”
– Luke Austin, Chair, Pride ERG Best Buy

“The Bebe event was everything! I learned so much about the importance of being resilient and how family, community, and drag support resiliency. The vibe was electrifying and I am grateful for being able to attend an event of this caliber!”
– Natasha Riley, Intuit Pride Network
