Support The Road to Sydney San Francisco Screenings
/Finally, our film The Road to Sydney is coming to two film festivals in San Francisco. I am thrilled to invite you to experience this powerful and deeply human story that continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
• June 1, 5:30pm - (tickets) 25th San Francisco Documentary Film Festival - Vogue Theatre, 3290 Sacramento, SF
• June 7, 5:05pm - (tickets) Arte Film Festival - Bankhead Theatre, Livermore
Eight years in the making, The Road to Sydney follows the powerful journey of renowned Filipina-American choreographer Sydney Loyola through gender affirmation, identity, artistry, family reconciliation, and belonging. At its heart, the film is a moving story about authenticity, healing, resilience, and the universal search for belonging and human connection.
I am also humbly reaching out to ask for support to help bring our out-of-town and international film team members to San Francisco, as these festivals are unfortunately unable to provide airfare and accommodations. We are also raising funds to support our ongoing social impact and distribution campaign as we continue through the festival circuit.
At a time when many transgender voices and stories are increasingly being marginalized and erased, we believe films like The Road to Sydney are more important than ever - creating space for visibility, humanity, understanding, and compassion through authentic storytelling.
Film festivals are incredibly important for independent filmmakers — helping build awareness and meaningful conversations around stories that deserve to be seen and heard.
Any contribution, big or small, would greatly help with travel, accommodations, and our social impact outreach efforts.
