Outfest Board of Directors

I was recently unanimously elected to the Board of Directors for Outfest.

One year ago, I attended my first Outfest event when they screened our short film Casting Pearls. The whole experience was first-rate, and I was also deeply inspired by their Legacy Project restoring important LGBT cinema and media. They also have several other great programs, including Outfest Wednesdays, special screenings, and other important support for emerging talent, including Screenwriting Labs and the Fusion initiative for more ethnically and culturally diverse representations.

I’ll be at most upcoming Outfest events, including tomorrow’s launch party, so stop by and say hi! I really look forward to serving the LGBT film community!

Be sure to come to lots of great films with trans themes, including a documentary on Trinidad:
