Send us a text In this captivating episode, host Tiffany Rossdale sits down with JJ Walsh of the Seek Sustainable Japan podcast and filmmaker Felicity Tillack for an eye-opening discussion on the creation of the docuseries We Exist. This documentary series sheds light on the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals living in Japan, with a special focus on those in rural areas who face unique social challenges. Tiffany and Felicity reveal their mission to give voice to these often-overlooked communities, discussing the powerful stories that inspired them and the journey they undertook to bring these narratives to the screen. Tiffany, a long-time advocate for LGBTQ+ issues in Japan, shares how her role as a podcast host and activist naturally evolved into filmmaking. We Exist was born from her desire to amplify the stories of LGBTQ+ individuals whose experiences are rarely featured in mainstream media. Felicity, an accomplished director based in Kyoto, brings her creative vision and passion for diversity to the project, and together, they discuss how their collaboration has strengthened the docuseries’ reach and impact. JJ Walsh adds her unique perspective as an advocate for sustainable living, exploring how building inclusivity and empathy is a crucial part of a sustainable society. The conversation delves into the current Kickstarter campaign for We Exist, which seeks support to complete a second episode focused on family within the LGBTQ+ community in Japan. Tiffany and Felicity discuss how crowdfunding has rallied supporters and allies who want to see these stories told. From screenings in Kyoto to potential international festivals, We Exist is sparking conversations and awareness in ways that resonate deeply with audiences. JJ also touches on how the series aligns with sustainability by promoting acceptance and social harmony, both essential for resilient communities. As they share their vision for future episodes, Tiffany and Felicity invite listeners to become part of this important movement. This is more than just a documentary—it’s a call to action for unity, inclusion, and understanding.
