Jeannette Feliciano

It's Pride month and we're over here celebrating it by featuring a couple of films that will be screening at this years Frameline Film Festival. In this episode, we speak with the director and the subject of the documentary Jeannette . In June of 2016, 49 lives were tragically taken during a mass shooting on Latin Night at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. One of the survivors of that night is Jeannette, a gay single mother struggling to come to terms with a tragedy for which no one will ultimately be held accountable.  In our conversation with Jeannette and Maris, we speak about giving space to heal (physically and mentally), how Maris handled documenting Jeannette's life after surviving such a trauma, how they handled a very intense scene with Jeannette and her mother, Jeannette's community, and more. If you would like to see this film during the Frameline Film Festival, you still have time to grab a ticket for the in person screening or you can stream it at home. At a time where our LGBTQIA community is being attacked in person and online, you can help support their stories by watching these films. Follow Jeannette documentary on IG Follow Maris Curran on IG + Twitter Follow Jeannette Feliciano on IG + Facebook--Thanks for listening and for your support!

Frameline Film Festival - Pulse Nightclub Survivor Jeannette Feliciano and director Maris Curran of the documentary Jeannette

Director Maris Curran’s feature documentary, Jeannette, is a striking and intimate vérité, this portrait of competitive bodybuilder and queer single mother Jeannette Feliciano. The story unfolds as a nuanced story of balancing the relentlessness of daily existence with the realities of living through trauma. In the wake of Orlando’s Pulse Nightclub shooting, Jeannette continues to coach other survivors at the gym while raising her son. Life seems calm again, until Hurricane Maria hits Puerto Rico and Jeannette is thrown back into crisis mode. Skirting headlines to instead focus on the tenderness of healing, Maris Curran (Five Nights in Maine) delivers her feature documentary debut with the World Premiere of JEANNETTE. Director Maris Curran and the subject Jeannette Feliciano joins us for a conversation on the process of becoming comfortable with each other as Jeannette facilitates Maris’s camera and crew into every aspect of her life why it was important for both of them to give the horrifying reality of the Pulse Club mass shooting the appropriate perspective in the sweep of Jeanette’s complex and rewarding life.

Jeannette / Film School Radio interview with Director Maris Curran & Subject Jeannette Feliciano

Five Nights in Maine filmmaker Maris Curran sounds off on empathetic cinema, the critical role of "champions" in taking a story from script to screen, and exposing the behind-the-scenes barriers keeping women from calling the shots in Hollywood.
