CGiii Comment

Oooh...what will we make a film about today?!?

Oooh...how about amateur queeny tennis players - that's a good one!

No, it's not.

Tennis players tell their stories, that's it...and no-one is interested!

Total piffle.

Queens at Court follows 4 LGBTQ tennis players over 8 months and 2 tournaments and showcases the beauty and the challenge of being transgendered, obese, ex-military or cross cultural. It challenges the viewer to reconsider their understanding of how sport, its clubs, teams and individuals are represented in the mainstream. It asks you how accepting and tolerant you are of those who are 'different', and of yourself.
