Queer Youth Animated: Jaz
Queer Youth Animated Season 2 Episode 1
As a peer educator, Jaz has taken the role of “Mother” to youth who have been misinformed about sexual health and relationships.
“It’s like I know these things, but the more I learn about it, and the more I teach other people, it’s so unfair that we’re just not getting this type of education, especially for Queer sex-ed.” - Jaz S-V, Queer Youth Animated
Queer Youth Animated is an episodic series of two-minute films featuring diverse stories of the queer experience told by the youth themselves, animated by an entirely LGBTQIA+ team of professionals, most of whom identify closely to the interview subject.
Throughout 2020 & 2021, The Future Perfect Project interviewed queer youth about their lives, giving them the opportunity to talk about such topics as coming out, blended families, relationships, peer acceptance, homophobia, activism, and more.
The interviews are edited to two-minute portraits, then animated and scored by an entirely LGBTQIA+ team of professionals, most of whom identify closely to the subject. The result is this series of short animated documentaries that depict the very essence of the generation.
