Shooting. Editing. Storytelling.
When the pandemic hit, Lito began shooting interviews on their iPhone.

As the world rapidly shutdown to stem the spread of COVID-19, DJs and nightlife hosts pivoted from holding
in-person events to creating online parties. This documentary produced by Xtra Magazine looks at the queers at the forefront of these virtual queer spaces.
