Director Paddy Sweeney said those who took part had been brave to tell their stories on camera so candidly.
He said they had filmed with someone who then called to drop out of the project around the time of President Trump’s inauguration.
Mr Sweeney said the participant was worried about “having their face out there”, and the repercussions it may have for his job.
The film is part of a heritage lottery-funded project, which was commissioned by Pride in North Cumbria (PINC) LGBT+ Youth.
It is being screened for free in venues across Cumbria over July and August, including Rheged cinema in Penrith and Tullie in Carlisle.
Producer and project manager at PINC, Pam Eland, said they wanted to take a snapshot of community “to get their voices heard out there”.
She added they were looking to organise showings of the “emotional” film worldwide.
