BETWEEN THE SHADES seeks to explore the shades of being gay by what connects us all: love. The film looks at this though 360 degrees of parents, children, and generations. The participants represent a large range of age groups, ethnicities and professions. They are male, female and those who have still yet to label as either one. BETWEEN THE SHADES seeks to put faces to the letters that make up LGBTQI and how those letters have evolved and expanded since the Stonewall riots. The film examines the immense power of labels and the transcendence of love.
