旧金山内科医生Pam和导演会liam T. Horner described Pedro Zamora the same way in recent interviews with The Chronicle: trapped in amber, forever 22 years old.

The subject of Horner and Stacey Woelfel’s documentary “Keep the Cameras Rolling: The Pedro Zamora Way” — making its local premiere Saturday, June 4, at the Roxie Theater as part of the San Francisco Documentary Film Festival — Zamora was a charming, HIV-positive Cuban immigrant and AIDS activist who shot to fame 28 years ago on the pioneering MTV reality TV series “The Real World: San Francisco.”

在演出中，扎莫拉与他的室友结束了，包括Ling和她的丈夫，漫画家，编剧和漫画家作家Judd Winick；开始与他的搭档肖恩·萨瑟（Sean Sasser）约会，肖恩·萨瑟（Sean Sasser）是电视上的第一个求爱，在“现实世界”之家的承诺仪式上达到了最终。他的健康恶化了。

In a period when AIDS treatments were few, Zamora’s decline was brutally fast. He died Nov. 11, 1994, hours after the final episode of “The Real World: San Francisco” aired.

然后种植了“保持相机滚动”的种子。霍纳现在是密苏里大学的政治学教授，当时是亚利桑那州立大学的研究生，也是“现实世界：旧金山”的粉丝。

“I thought very strongly at the time that (the show) was having a profound influence on public opinion and on people my age and younger, and I always wanted to find a way to explore that,” he said.

他补充说：“我对流行文化与政治的交集感兴趣。”“回顾过去，90年代初期是关于艾滋病毒和艾滋病的舆论，这是关于LGBTQ问题的一个非常了不起的时期。我认为“现实世界：旧金山”只是被人的正确组合和佩德罗的合适的中心人物击中。”

Horner brought the idea of making a documentary to fellow University of Missouri professor Woelfel, the director of the school’s Jonathan B. Murray Center for Documentary Journalism. They recruited 10 students with double majors in political science and journalism to fill out the crew, with the professors acting as producers. Horner and Woelfel took over as directors when the pandemic delayed completing the project and their students graduated.

一开始，霍纳（Horner）和沃尔弗尔（Woelfel）有一个重要的联系：纪录片新闻学院的大学校友乔纳森·默里（Jonathan Murray）以“现实世界”的创造者的名字命名，并被广泛认为是真人秀电视的父亲。

“Keep the Cameras Rolling” blends scenes from “The Real World: San Francisco” and archival footage of Zamora’s activism, with current interviews with Murray; Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; President Bill Clinton; Zamora’s sister, Mily Zamora; and several of Zamora’s “Real World” castmates, including Ling, Winick and current Fox news personality Rachel Campos-Duffy.

当Ling和Winick决定尝试“现实世界”时，他们都没有期待改变生活的经历。林的室友正在制作试镜录像带，当时的医学学生决定也做一个百灵鸟。崭露头角的漫画家温克（Winick）希望在演出中扮演角色，可能会导致工作或女友。

“During the interview process, they asked, ‘How would you respond if you found out one of your roommates was HIV-positive?’ ” Ling recalled. “That’s when it signaled to me that this show might be something more than just having a good time and living on camera.”

“对我来说，这几乎改变了我的生活。我遇到了帕姆，我遇到了佩德罗，”温克说。

“Later, I did a book about him (‘Pedro and Me’), and it actually taught me how to be a storyteller. It was the first real story I ever told. I felt a responsibility to try to keep his story going,” he added. “Let me make a 240-page comic book about Pedro. And after that, I realized, ‘Oh, you know what? This is how I tell stories. This is who I am, and I owe that to him.’ ”

“保持摄像头滚动：佩德罗·扎莫拉的故事”的故事围绕着一个年轻人如何改变艾滋病的对话。根据Winick的说法，相机每周在“现实世界”上滚动70至90个小时。室友变得非常非常近，他们都知道自己的赛季非常非凡。

“我们只是我们的身份。但是在其中，我们想帮助佩德罗讲一个故事，并传达他的信息。”

Winick, Ling and Sasser were with Zamora and his family when he died. Ling did an HIV/AIDS research fellowship as part of her residency at UCSF. Winick kept his promise to Zamora to continue his friend’s AIDS educational efforts. A photo of Zamora decorates the couple’s Noe Valley home, and they have told their children all about their friend. His is a loss they still feel deeply.

“I’d give just about everything to be doing an interview with you about something Pedro was doing, a documentary done about him, and (talk about how) we’re going to go to the premiere together in a couple of weeks or something with him and his partner and his kids,” Winick said.

“这实际上就是梦想的成本。但这不是解决方案。即使在这些年之后，它仍然很痛苦，可能是什么以及他应该拥有多少。”
