“I began filming Peppermint before the world fully understood the cultural shift she would come to represent. What started as a portrait of a performer became a much larger story about visibility, authorship, friendship, ambition, and the emotional cost of being seen.
A Deeper Love is not only a film about success. It is about the years of labor, care, and courage behind that success. It is about a Black trans artist claiming space in rooms that were not built for her, and about the people, communities, and histories that made that possible.”
