Pride blooms from yes

Director Michael Dole & The Daughters bring together real Optus employees in a cinematic space where their most important yeses are made visible. Each person shares three personal photos that trace a journey of courage, connection and self acceptance. Projected larger than life around them, these memories move beyond the frame as white flowers at their feet slowly bloom with colour, mirroring the shift from hidden to seen.

Pride blooms from yes is not about becoming someone new, but celebrating who they have always been and the pride that grows when the world begins to say yes with them.
