CAMP OUT
Dir. Kirk Marcolina & Larry Grimaldi, 2006, USA, 78 min.

Ordinary, happy-go-lucky, music-loving kids narrate their personal journeys and bear witness to a new movement of courageous young people. Caught in the culture war of religion, politics and the queer community, these teens refuse to turn their backs on God.

Dir/Scr: Georgia Lee, 2005, USA, 35mm, 92 min.
Behind the red doors of the Wong family's residence lie the complicated and endearingly impaired lives of three headstrong sisters and their increasingly entangled romantic situations. Each of their distinctly different lives is masterfully interwoven to reveal the glue that binds the Wong family, including its remarkable matter-of-fact lesbian love story. RED DOORS is a smart, whimsical and funny film that examines the roles family, love and memory play in our daily lives.

THE JOY OF LIFE released on DVD
Winner: Outfest 2005, Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award
Jenni Olson's THE JOY OF LIFE is an innovative story of a butch lesbian in San Francisco searching for love and self-discovery. Against a backdrop of stunning landscape cinematography, this bold, lyrical voiceover film evolves from lesbian lust story to inventive documentary -- delving into explicit descriptions of lesbian sexuality and offering up a quick look at Frank Capra's 1941 MEET JOHN DOE before embarking on the fascinating and previously untold history of the Golden Gate Bridge as a suicide landmark.
