I’m Lu, a filmmaker and the owner of Defar Media, a genre-focused production company. Our stories are for and about Black women. Working alongside QTBIPOC artists and allies, we create stories that explore the question “what does it mean to belong?” We are a group of QTBIPOC filmmakers who came together despite the odds stacked up against us. What are those odds? Well, other than societal bias, there was a raging pandemic, a shifting socio-economic and political climate, and the actual climate.
