"Because Of My Voice" Documentary Premiere

This one-year residency supports young LGBTQ+ artists from across the United States to conceive, write, record, and release a concept album of original music.

In the 2023 season, twelve remarkable young people created the album . After a year of virtual collaboration, they met in person for the first time in New York City, culminating in a live performance of their album at the prestigious Joe’s Pub. Now, nearly two years later, The Future Perfect Project returns to the very venue where it all began for a special screening of our documentary, capturing the original performance and teh brilliant young queer artists who brought it to life.

This special 75-minute afternoon event will feature the world premiere of the film alongside live performances by alumni of the Future Perfect Records program.
