"Special mention is given to the cinematography and editing in I'M NOT EVERYTHING I WANT TO BE for breaking down the art of filmmaking into its simplest parts - picture and sound - while simultaneously elevating these aspects to their highest form. Through a blend of photographs and atmospheric noise, the filmmaker has rendered visible an under-heralded queer life and given it an emotionally charged, and historically contextualized, form. Its simplicity, without sacrificing complexity, is its power." - Jurors Mathew Rodriguez, Lu Linares and Gian Cassini
