To tell stories is to be human. Stories catalyze powerful change, engineer new norms, and help create a world where everyone can be their authentic self.
We are helping create an entertainment culture where there's no such thing as marginalized storytelling — one that fully embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are producing television shows, films, and documentaries that center LGBTQ+ people who live at the intersections of marginalized identity. We believe every creator should have the freedom and resources to tell the stories that accurately reflect their lived experiences.
While the lack of representation in TV and film correlates to an increase in stigma, discrimination, and violence, VOE does not focus on how the world has oppressed and traumatized the LGBTQ+ community. Rather we tell authentic stories, painting a holistic picture of shared humanity. Stories of love and heartbreak, triumph and disappointment, adventure and stillness — stories that resonate with every human.
Stories are the doorways to empathy — and when the world walks through our stories, all of us, including LGBTQ+ people, are set free.

Selena Roberts President
Selena (she/her) spent 20 years as an award-winning reporter, columnist and bestselling author at The New York Times and Sports Illustrated before turning her love of storytelling to film in 2012. As a writer and producer, she launched her own production company to finance and develop documentaries, feature films and TV series. Her work as an executive producer includes broadcasts for Netflix, Amazon, Showtime, and the BBC. Her first documentary, Gored, premiered at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, and her second documentary, Bannister: Everest on the Track, was celebrated as one of the “best sports documentaries of all time” by IndieWire in 2017. She is the executive producer of The Stand, about the civil rights protest of John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the 1968 Mexico Olympics, which was distributed by Amazon. Currently, she is producing the feature film Lomong, a biopic about a lost boy of Sudan. She also is the Head of Entertainment for Headline Studio at ADVANCE, where she develops scripted and unscripted projects, all rooted in the journalism from the company's award-winning reporters across the country.
“Along with brutality, torture, and murder, a principal step in oppression, American style, has long involved getting between the oppressed and their stories.”
