Dani and Mateo sign up for hot yoga with one goal: meet women. But they're a little too quirky and a little too all over the place for anything to go according to plan. Then Dani meets Juliette, and a small crush starts to form. It's sweet, it's funny, and it doesn't try too hard.
Hot Yoga Sundays is a three-episode queer comedy web series. As Director of Photography, I shot all three episodes across a two-day production. The series premiered at the Atlanta Comedy Film Festival and the Women's Comedy Film Festival earlier this year before launching on YouTube for Pride Month in June.
Working with Lisette was a great experience. She's talented and ambitious, not just producing the entire series but acting in it as one of the leads, Dani. As a member of the LGBTQ community, she brought something that feels naturally queer without ever announcing it. It doesn't say "look, I'm queer" out loud. It just is. And that's exactly the kind of storytelling we need more of.
