About the show:
Live & Queer is a talk show/video podcast produced by QCC. We get real with Bay Area LGBTQ+ artists about what they’re doing, what inspires them, what they’re trying to accomplish, and the way their art contributes to LGBTQ+ and beyond culture & movements.
About Maria:
Maria Breaux is a queer, biracial filmmaker, whose work includes the award-winning films Lucha (short, Director/Producer) and Vulveeta (feature, Director/Producer/Actor/Co-Editor). She’s created 15 movies in the Bay Area over the last 20 years, and has worked on and appeared in the work of local filmmakers. Maria was one of 100 national filmmakers who collaborated on 99%—The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film (directed by Audrey Ewell, Aaron Aites, and Nina Krstic), which premiered at Sundance and is distributed by Participant Media (An Inconvenient Truth). She’s received grants from The San Francisco Arts Commission and The Center for Cultural Innovation. Her first (mega-DIY) short films were in her childhood home of Duarte, California, where she overcame a rough upbringing to become the first in her hometown to attend Stanford University. She received a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing (with many Drama classes, to boot). She received an MFA in Playwriting from San Francisco State University, where she was a two-time winner of the Highsmith Playwriting Award. During this time, she presented solo performances and founded the sketch comedy group Baby Snatching Dingoes, with shows at venues including Climate Theater, Luna Sea, Josie's Cabaret and Juice Joint, and Theatre Rhinoceros. She made the move to films in 2000, and her first piece, the narrative feature I’d Rather Be…Gone, premiered at the Frameline Film Festival. She’s lived in San Francisco for 30 years. She now lives in Mission Terrace with her wife, Sarah; their 10-year-old daughter, Cleo; and an outdoor cat named Coffee.
