Posture Media is shaking up production's notorious boys club.
When I graduated from art school in 2016, I was desperate to find a work that straddled the “professional” world and my queer identity. I would scour Instagram for hours, looking for elusive opportunities. That’s how I first encountered
Posture is now made up of a core creative team: Winter Mendelson, Asher Torres, and Jesse Lackowitz Crozier. Winter is the original founder and oversees nearly everything, including partnerships, production, consulting, and events. Asher, the co-founder and senior production director, builds and manages project teams and scouts talent for behind-the-scenes.
Winter: My hope is that in showing what others go through, it might inspire more people to feel more affirmed in their own gender fluidity and know they are not alone. I also hope it reaches allies and sparks thoughts and/or conversations about expanding human understanding of gender and identity. Winter: Production is notoriously a boys club, and we’re here to change that. Honestly all of our sets are magical experiences because of our commitment to diversity, and how often we work with women and non-binary talent. This was an extension of that in the sense that we really dedicated ourselves to finding non-binary crew and cast—and I have never ever been on a production where the majority of people working were non-binary, trans, and/or queer. It was absolutely amazing.
Winter: I think collaboration is crucial, especially when you’re representing an identity or lived experience, because there is no way to ever really able to represent a large community in a short amount of time. You need to make sure you have people in the room to exchange experiences, so you can come together and figure out how to sensitively portray subtle yet important complexities. Non-binary, as small of a subset of the LGBTQ community it may be, is actually incredibly varied and diverse.
