Film Description

The How Do I Look documentary was created by artistic and social activist Wolfgang Busch for Art From The Heart LLC. over a period of 10 years, to empower the “Ball” community artistically and financially and to build a national artistic infrastructure to further the careers of LGBT artists.

How Do I Look is a LGBT artistic empowerment, HIV/AIDS awareness community project and an arts in education program, focusing on the members of the national Ball community that took their talents outside the Ball scene and worked with superstars such as: Queen Latifa, Madonna, India and fashion designer Thierry Mugler.

How Do I Look captured the ABall’s communities talents, the assets of this very creative and trend setting community and takes you inside of this over 35 year old Harlem tradition.

How Do I Look highlights on the legends and icons life styles, their house system and family values, their every day struggles, the fierce fashion the dance vogue old way vs. new way and runway competition, the passing of three generations of ballroom fashion traditions, transgender health issues and education, HOPE messages on the battle with HIV/AIDS, and how they build their confidence, self esteem and ballroom status through the arts.
