Sharon “Rocky” Roggio is een onafhankelijke filmmaker en productieontwerper (credits omvatten onder meer House of Cards, Red Dawn, Prayers of Bobby). Rocky is ook lid van de LGBTQIA+-gemeenschap en verliet haar huis nadat ze uit de kast was gekomen bij haar conservatieve, religieuze ouders. Rocky's vader, Sal Roggio, is een niet-bevestigende predikant en predikt dat de LGBTQIA+-levensstijl zondig is.
“As an LGBTQ female Christian, I have been navigating a religious environment that views me as “other,” “less than,” and “not equal,” for too long. These beliefs, held by many dear to my heart, have cast a dark, dangerous shadow over my life. After years of searching for my voice, and calling, as a storyteller, my path has led me here. It is my goal to change the Christian narrative and liberate the many LGBTQ people living in the dark; oppressed by bad theology. I want us all to live and be acknowledged as equals, under God's love. There are truths that must be shared. We are here to share those truths.”
