A Queer Love Story: Going Off Script

What happens when the love stories you grew up with aren’t your own?

Justine Potter is a story producer, so she knows exactly how a perfect love story is meant to unfold. In this talk, she reflects on what happened when she measured her own queer experience against classic narratives like Pride and Prejudice, or the modern retelling, Bridget Jones.

The result is a deeply personal story: one where getting everything she thought she wanted turned out to be far from what she truly needed.

A hero’s journey, a classic romance, or something closer to tragedy? You decide.
