Finally a face to face with filmmaker and Sink The Pink aficionado the lovely Joseph Wilson, then off to BFI Flare to interview David Hoyle who we think is still ‘Divine’, and finally meeting the multi-talented Lyall Hakaraia at VFD one of the best queer spaces in the East End. Whilst all those interviews are being edited, here’s a wee trailer of Lyall, resplendent in #Halson & #Chanel, welcoming us to VFD (formerly Vogue Fabrics)
Omilani Alarcón the director of Latinegras talked to us about her Latina + Negra culture and how this documentary, being screened at Miami Film Festival throws a light on a community that most of us know so little about.
In a very noisy Press Room at the Miami Film Festival, dancer/choreographer Jamal Sims talks about his directing debut, along with Jordan Finnegan his producer, of When The Beat Drops an exciting new queer black dance documentary on the fabulous world of ‘bucking’ that premiered at the Festival.
The movie’s other producers are the legendary Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato of World of Wonder fame, so we can expect to see the film surfacing either at a Festival near you soon or on some streaming platform or even TV. Watch this space.
The interview with Roger Walker-Dack was filmed by Hussein Wentz for www.queergurutv.com at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach.
