Peter C Bisuito is a very funny man. In fact, he is the World’s only gay muscle bear comedian and for the past 6 years he has been living his dream making the Bear community, in particular, laughing their heads off all around the globe.
Now he is on the brink of fulfilling another part of his ambitions and make his own dramedy #LGBTQ web series Vent and Chester.
queerguru caught up with him just as he was about to start shooting the Pilot for this interview we filmed for www.queergurutv.com via Facetime
Queerguru talked with Boston filmmaker Peter Horgan about his new movie Ready To Die : Haunted by visions of her traumatic past, a woman who lost her faith struggles to adapt to her new world views screening at Provincetown Film Society & Festival .
Brit queer actor/writer/performer …… and Pantomime Dame aficionado …. Matthew Baldwin talks about his ninth season starring in this quintessential English (queer) art form. Queerguru advised Baldwin that this would be the first time ever we had interviewed a Queen who was paid to be evil! This Holiday Season at Londo’n’s Charing Cross Theatre Baldwin stars in SLEEPING BEAUTY TAKES A PRICK. In case you didn’t pick up on the hint this is an ‘adult-only panto !!!!
As well as his love of playing evil queens, the multi-talented and extremely successful Baldwin has one of those resumes that make for fascinating reading. We picked up him writing a monologue for Mark Gatiss’ QUEER season in London. Kings Head Theatre …… plus the time in a freezing cold London pub/theatre he stripped naked to play his part ….. and there is so much more
The Canadian auteur Bruce LaBruce is one of the very best queer filmmakers: part queercore, part queer punk, part pornographer …… (who actually hates labels…..), and who is always pushing the envelope with his work. He combines more conventional narrative and filmmaking techniques with his appetite interest for extreme topics, and many have explicit sexual content at a time when other filmmakers are no longer prepared to challenge the norm. LaBruce is a fearless creative and his influence and contribution to queer cinema is substantial and one of the reasons the Provincetown Film Festival honored him with their Filmmaker On The Edge Award
And why Queerguru jumped at the chance to sit down and talk with him: it’s not every day you get a chance to meet a queer icon ……
In 1988 Margaret Thatcher introduced a hate-filled anti-LGBTQ Law called CLAUSE 28 which was to effectively ban the promotion of homosexuality. Even now some 30 years later it’s left a bitter memory within the LGBTQ Community for its sheer pernisciousness. Brit filmmaker Joseph Wilson‘ talks to QUEERGURU about his short dystopian film that follows a group of unapologetically queer warriors forced to flee the UK at that time.
