The QLP Questionnaire: LaShawn McGhee
I'm a filmmaker and co-founder of Revry, the streaming platform focused on LGBTQ+ content.
While I was working as a nurse in the Washington, D.C., area, I attended a church meeting for the media ministry. This church didn’t have a choir, so I decided to attend, not knowing what to expect. I immediately fell in love with the demonstrations and information provided, which led me to seek out educational programs in media production. During my time at school, I discovered a passion for video editing. I completed my undergraduate degree in Digital Media and Film Production and was accepted into the editing program at The American Film Institute.
Cut to 2015: Revry was born out of the need for increased positive queer representation, our goal was to create an inclusive platform for queer voices, stories, and culture. Revry has since grown into a globally available platform accessible through Smart TVs, mobile devices, and streaming devices. We are committed to providing authentic queer storytelling and a safe space for representation, and this allows us to tackle the notion of Pride 365 days a year by providing advertising brands with the opportunity to connect with LGBTQ+ folks globally through programmatic video ads and a slate of options for branded content. Queer joy is at the heart of everything we do.
