Long Synopsis:
"Who's on Top?" is a feature-length documentary which shines a spotlight on members of the LGBTQ community—including those with a range of mountaineering experience—who challenge stereotypes about gender and sexuality in the outdoor arena. Historically excluded and ostracized as not belonging to the natural domain, the climbers will tackle not only a mountain, but assumptions about who they are and how they belong to the world of outdoor adventure. This film will portray a journey like no other, a never-before-told story about what makes LGBTQ folks both distinct and connected, facing physical, mental and societal obstacles.

Select Press:
"What’s essential about films like Who’s on Top? is how much the world is gradually expanding from the closet to the highest point on earth—so, these stories must be told. If that’s not a convincer to see the film, it’s narrated by George Takei, so there’s your reason."
- FilmThreat
"a feel-good watch for anyone needing a little inspiration to get into gear in order to reach their own summit, whatever it may be."
- Portland Mercury
"George Takei narrates the trek of four queer-identifying Portlanders attempting to make the 5,000-foot climb to Mount Hood's summit. Director Devin Fei-Fan Tau creates ample room for heartfelt confessions and reclaiming mountain climbing as a space for all. But his documentary's ever-compelling ace in the hole is just how difficult it is to, you know, scale a mountain."
