I’ve had the huge privilege and joy of documenting the pageant from
the weekly rehearsals to meeting up 1 on 1 with the contestants to hanging
out with Victoria and her family.
What does documenting really mean? I struggle with this question sometimes, but for me, I would like it to be the ultimate practice in being a good human. Observing, being present, listening — really caring about the people who you are working with. I’ve learned so much about how to be a good human from the contestants, Victoria, Ashish, Carmel, all Chi-AWE board, past contestants, and everyone who has come to the various events. I’m so fortunate to be able to grow
through this experience! This is not “my” documentary but hopefully a
collective memory that I can help show.
