103 Shots

103 Shots
by Heather Cassils

Heather Cassils: “Following the recent mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida I was struck by the testimony of one of the survivors, a man who said one of the reasons he did not react immediately to the gunshots was that he initially perceived them as first as the celebratory noises of “fireworks or balloons popping.” I took this narrative as the starting point for 103 Shots, a short film shot at San Francisco Pride with the help of over 200 volunteers.”
