Then welcome home! Asides from the OVER 700 REVIEWS of the best queer movies (that we add to weekly) we also get to interview the people who make them. Check out this video just to see who we filmed last week alone for www.queergurutv.com …… and then sign up to ensure that you never miss out on the best ever queer movie site.
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.
Actress (and co-writer and Producer) Fawzia Mirza plays an uptight Pakistani Muslim lesbian lawyer who lives with her very conservative mother in Chicago. Her life however is about to go through a major upheaval when she falls in love with a fiery Mexican woman ……. and female wrestling too. Signature Move currently playing the Film Festival circuit is one of the most talked about lesbian movies of year getting a great deal of love from both critics and audiences alike.
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.
