The Last Resort is a wonderful new documentary that celebrates the work of Andy Sweet & Gary Monroe two photographers who brilliantly captured the authentic Miami Beach of the 1970’s and 1980s’ producing some stunning iconic images, before Sweet’s tragic murder in 1982. queerguru talks to filmmaker Kareem Tabsch (who co-directed the film with Dennis Scholl ) on the eve of its World Premiere at Miami Jewish Film Festival (images courtesy Andy Sweet Photo Legacy )
The queerguru team loves a Parade! Here is our hometown Miami Beach Gay Pride celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Pride here in the only way we know how.
