Outfest 2019: The Future of Queer Cinema Is Trans

I’ve lamented that I’m never going to see my stories on screen until I make it happen for myself. Never have I felt that to be less true. There are so many of us out there making work for ourselves, and each other.

Outfest 2019: “Good Kisser” Is a Threesome Farce That’s Afraid to Be Fun

While the larger conflicts may fall flat, the dramatic minutia when the threesome is going well is really enjoyable to watch.

Outfest 2019: “The Daughters of Fire” Isn’t Afraid of Queer Sex or Female Desire

Just because you leave the movie feeling emotionally fulfilled and intellectually challenged, doesn’t mean it’s any less erotic.

Outfest 2019: “Second Star on the Right” is a Bisexual Mess in All the Best Ways

The film goes beyond mere representational milestones. It’s beautiful, it’s laugh-out-loud hilarious, it has two whole musical numbers, three whole Britney Spears references, and is just bursting with queer creativity!

Outfest 2019: “Jules of Light and Dark” Gets Lost in Its Own Complexity

This is a movie about lonely queers. And it’s a movie about queers who sometimes make baffling choices.

Outfest 2019: “Bit” Is a Trans Teen Vampire Romp About Lesbian Separatism

Anyone who watches Supergirl knows just how talented Nicole Maines is and she carries this movie with ease. She’s so casually present on screen and she absolutely kills a one-liner.

Outfest 2019: Michelle Hendley is a F*cking Star in “The More Things Change”

Instead of counting down the days to see if we get three lines on The L Word reboot, we should be counting down the days until Simone gets to turn this short into a full-season show.

I want more content for queer parents, for people in long term relationships and marriage (or finding themselves after divorce).
