Collaborating with Zukaro Media to create a promotional video for my Travelling Queer Erotic Retreat, QUEEROS, was an incredibly affirming, creative, and professionally satisfying experience. This wasn’t just about producing content—it was about launching a vision. One that’s deeply personal, sensual, queer, and rooted in embodiment. Parmis and Matthew—alongside their crew—helped bring it all to life with artistry and care.
This was my first time creating a media piece where I was both the subject and the visionary. I didn’t want a simple intro video; I wanted a cinematic story—something that communicated the tone, playfulness, and intimacy of the retreat experience. They took the time to really listen and reflect back what I wanted to share with the world. We built a script that was simple but evocative, and their process helped me feel supported and confident every step of the way.
We filmed over two full days at two different locations. When one spot fell through, they jumped into action and helped scout alternatives—no panic, just problem-solving. That kind of adaptability is rare. I also appreciated how they guided the pacing of the shoot, working with me and another actor to create genuine, embodied moments that translated beautifully on camera.
