Wow. #outfest has been absolutely mental so far, and I mean that in the best way possible. The two screenings on Sunday of @childhoodsfilm during the Platinum Showcase were so magical and all the films in the program were so compelling 😍. I was floored by the warm reception my film received and the laughter from the audience filled me with a moderate amount of energy towards telling more stories. That is more than I had before! Seriously though, there’s nothing like the energy of a crowd and seeing your work on the big screen. Here’s some behind the scenes shots and video from the Q&A. Sorry it took me a long time to post, I was so nervous the whole weekend that I felt completely drained today. Anyway, thank you to all of you who are streaming the film and texting me your reactions. All I can say is that, sometimes, in order to achieve your goals you have to turn your apartment into an imaginary ancestral rainforest and wear an endless variety of crocheted hats 🤎 #outfest #outfestla #hotqueersummer #film #shortfilm #filmfestival #blackfilmmakers
