What’s in a Pronoun: Posture Media’s Film Premiere at Cannes Lions 2019

Just in time for World Pride this summer, the Posture Media team produced a short film titled What’s in a Pronoun that illustrates how non-binary people navigate the highly gendered world we live in through day-to-day experiences and interactions. Our mission is to inspire a deeper and empathetic understanding of what non-binary people experience on a daily basis.

The desire for this film is to function as a learning tool as we show the joys of being seen, and how it’s often the small things that can make a huge difference in someone’s life.

What’s in a Pronoun premiered during Posture’s content session at Cannes Lions, the International Festival of Creativity, where Winter Mendelson (Founder and CEO, they/them), Asher Torres (Co-Founder, he/they), and Jesse Lackowitz Crozier (Creative Producer, they/them), discussed identity, pronouns, and inclusivity on June 17th, 2019 on The Terrace Stage.
