How Do I Look
''How Do I Look'' is a 2006 American documentary directed by Wolfgang Busch. The film chronicles ball culture in Harlem and Philadelphia over a ten-year period.
==Overview==
Wolfgang Busch began interviewing subjects from the ball circuit in the mid-1990s and continued filming for a decade. ''How Do I Look'' documents the ball culture, which began in the 1920s during the Harlem Renaissance, and has since influenced mainstream artists and musicians. The film follows several ball "legends" such as Willi Ninja, Kevin Ultra-Omni, Octavia St. Laurent, Pepper LaBeija and Jose Xtravaganza. Many of the subjects that are featured in ''How Do I Look'' were also featured in the 1990 documentary ''Paris Is Burning''.〔
''How Do I Look'' also explores the prejudices members of the ball culture face due to their sexuality and race. In a 2005 ''New York Times'' article, choreographer Willi Ninja commented about the mainstream society's readiness to embrace facets of ball culture while also rejecting the Ball "children" due to their sexuality:
() "If Madonna does voguing, it's O.K.," he added. "But when the ball children dance, even now, people say, 'Oh, it's a bunch of crazy queens throwing themselves on the floor.'"〔
Other subjects speak about their attempts to forge careers in mainstream society and the effect that HIV and AIDS has had on ball culture as many of the subjects featured died of AIDS during or shortly after filming was complete.
