We believe that in order to uplift a community you must work with it. As proud queer activists ourselves, it is an essential part of our mission to be actively working with our community. QUEER UP has multiple partnerships with different queer businesses, organizations, nonprofits and entrepreneurs. From leading free workshops at REACH LA, casting projects and teaching with QUEER 26, ACTNOW and participating in GLAAD initiatives, sponsoring community events, or yearly internships, we continue to share our knowledge and help advance queer creatives, from actors & models to producers, writers and filmmakers. We are proud to watch creatives we have trained and collaborated with, go on to take major positions at other agencies, start companies, or achieve artistic milestones.

Testimonials

Noga and Kharmony are very loving and engaged in our growth. They’re always pushing us and helping us figure out what really works for us. Even outside of being an actor, whether it be us being musicians, models, business owners, or entrepreneurs, they’re always making sure that we know that they care about us as a creative first.

I can’t even describe how much I love this community. I think being any sort of artist can be incredibly isolating, and I have felt so much love and support from people who really get it… it’s just really good people!
Zoe Yale
The team is so genuine. Having a team rooting for me and genuinely caring about my queerness, my pronouns, my identities, and me just feeling empowered is something I haven't experienced before and is rare in this industry. I’m grateful.
Heather Muriel Nguyen
My favorite part about Queer UP is having a team that is in your corner, that has got your back, and that is rooting for your success. They’re a team that understands you in a way that other people might not get. It’s being part of a community where you don’t have to explain or defend your own identity, you’re just accepted the way you are; that’s really empowering.
Kush Patel
I love Queer UP because we are being represented and uplifted by our own community members which is something I never thought I would have the privilege to be a part of, so thank you QUP!
Maze Felix
As a queer, gender-non conforming actor, I found it hard to believe that there would be any roles out there for me to play. But with the help of the hardworking reps at Queer UP, I was blown away with how many opportunities there are for people who express themselves as I do. To have representation that genuinely cares about making sure I am seen and celebrated for my intrinsic authenticity, is something that every queer person should be afforded in this industry.
Dillon Redd
Queer UP has become a safe space for me within this industry, allowing me to be myself and feel free.
