Effie Brown, Powerhouse Producer and Mentor of HBO’s Project Greenlight, was the Guest Speaker at the Evan Lawson Filmmakers brunch at #PIFF16 in June. Before she elucidated to the assembled crowd on ‘diversity in film’, she stopped by to talk to queerguru aka Roger Walker-Dack about her work in an hilarious interview that she thought would never ever see the light of day. How wrong she was!
This brief encounter was one of the most unexpected and joyous moments for queerguru in covering the Festival for P.T.V.
queergurutalks to Everett Arthur one of the participants of the new HBO Documentary SUITED the remarkable uplifting story of Bindle and Keep a small tailoring company in New York who are part of whole new growing breed of clothiers who cater specifically for the transgender community.
It is an achingly beautiful story compassionately told and one that is tinged with more than it’s share of sadness, as openly gay Garnet Jones shows how tough it is for LGBT people to be themselves in this tight small communities.
After picking up Awards on the Film Festival circuit, the movie is being released by Wolfe Video and is available streaming on most major global platforms that carry LGBT films, on November 8th 2016. To mark the occasion the filmmaker talked to queerguru via Facetime all about his movie for an interview for P.T.V.
