Cited: - As the ref #12 quote and information seems to come from the audio rather than the text, is it possible to add rough timestamps in the article? If this is difficult, can you just point me to the section which verifies the part about Lessovitz's father's suicide?
Interesting: - ALT0 seems a little dry to me without more explanation (e.g. the I AM FILM source highlights as a specific case: Lessovitz has been praised for casting Leyna Bloom, a trans actor, as Wye. She commented to Deadline, “If trans actors aren’t playing cis roles, then why vice versa?”). However, ALT1 looks good and I'd like to go with that one, preferably with the following tweak:
ALT2: ... that filmmaker Danielle Lessovitz found respite in New York's ball culture after her father's suicide, later setting her first feature film, Port Authority, within it?
@Bilorv: The tweak is fine with me. As for the audio, I think she talks for most of it. Leyna Bloom speaks first for a little bit, and then it's Lessovitz for a while. Because most of the audio is Lessovitz, and parts from across what she's saying are being used (she discusses her father, then the ball scene, then later the film) a time stamp wouldn't be that useful. And you can't select a start time at the audio, it's a bit of an awkward embed I think. I can try listen again and map the various points, but you'd have to listen through from the beginning and time it yourself. Kingsif (talk) 21:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2 approved, to be moved to the "June (Pride Month)" section of the Approved page. On my browser you can move to specific times in the audio, but I see that timestamps won't work here. I've listened to a bit more of the audio and verified at least some of the hook; I'm happy to take the rest on good faith. — Bilorv (Black Lives Matter) 22:14, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I guess that's what I get for outdated Firefox. I just started playing it, I'll see if I can take down a span for Lessovitz speaking at least. Kingsif (talk) 22:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
