State of Pride

State of Pride is a 2019 American YouTube original documentary film directed by Jeffrey Friedman and Rob Epstein.

After being asked what a dream project would look like to him, Braun pitched the idea of touring the country to meet with young LGBT people who would share their experiences and opinions about what Pride Month meant to them.

As soon as the project was greenlit, he brought on Rob Epstein and Jeff Friedman, two experienced filmmakers who had a successful history of making LGBT films.

[5] Christopher Cappiello wrote in the Los Angeles Blade that Epsteins and Friedmans directing was impressive, and the film is "illuminating even as it entertains".

Cappiello also noted that the film gives due consideration to the history of the LGBT movement, "and the importance of recognizing how far we’ve come since Stonewall fifty years ago".
