Frameline, the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival, was postponed this year due to the pandemic. As part of Bank of the West’s #Changemakers series we had the chance to revisit Chet Pancake’s film Queer Genius, which was featured at the 2019 festival. Queer Genius explores the lives of four visionary queer artists: Eileen Myles, Barbara Hammer, Jibz Cameron and Black Quantum Futurism. In this interview Chet talks about why they made the film and offers advice to aspiring filmmakers and entrepreneurs.
