Interview: ‘Visible: Out on Television’ creators Ryan White,
Jessica Hargrave and Wilson Cruz
“Visible: Out on Television” investigates the importance of TV as an
intimate medium that has shaped the American conscience, and how the LGBTQ
movement has shaped television. Combining archival footage with interviews with
key players from the movement and the screen, the docuseries is narrated by
Janet Mock, Margaret Cho, Asia Kate Dillon, Neil Patrick Harris, and Lena
Waithe. Each hour-long episode explores themes such as invisibility, homophobia,
the evolution of the LGBTQ character, and coming out in the television industry.
The docuseries is directed and executive produced by Ryan White, and executive
produced by Wilson Cruz, Wanda Sykes and Jessica Hargrave.

Said composer Blake Neely, “It has been a life-long passion of mine to
support the movement for equal rights, so a history of LGBTQ+ representation,
told through the lens of the medium that made my career, was an instant
inspiration to me as an artist. What I thought I knew about the topic was
expanded 100-fold through what the series taught me. As with our previous work
together, Ryan found a perfect balance of emotions in his story-telling, giving
me a broad and colorful palette to write the music.”

Neely’s approach to the score for “Visible: Out on
Television” was to set a tone of compassion. By writing in familiar styles
and instrumentations, his hope was for the music to make the audience feel
connected to the story. Continued Neely, “The ear isn’t fighting to
understand the music, so one is left to embrace the information the series
presents.”
