Posted on Categories queerguru.tvLabels , , , , ,

 

Queerguru first met London based queer Finnish filmmaker Mikko Mäkelä in 2017 when his first feature film MOMENT IN THE REEDS premiered at BFI Flare Film Fest in London.

Now some 7 years later his 2nd feature SEBASTIAN had its World Premiere at Sundance fast attracting both critical acclaim and distribution deals for global Theatrical Release.

Its the story of Max, an aspiring young writer in London, who begins living a double life as a sex worker in order to research his debut novel.

We caught up with Mäkelä at the Provincetown Film Festival, where the film was on our TOP MUST-SEE- LIST to learn more, and celebrate the films critical success.

The Interview was filmed by Dan Desjardins

The time that the fabulously funny LESLIE JORDAN threw ‘shade’ with Queerguru

Posted on Categories queerguru.tvLabels , , , , , ,

 

 

Back in 2017 Queerguru had the sheer pleasure of interviewing (for the 2nd time) the great Leslie Jordan. Of all the people that have ever sat in front of our cameras over the years he was the most generous and warmest of interviewees  that we have ever had the honor of spending time with.  Full of charisma and his quick fire wicked wit he had the entire Queerguru crew in fits for the whole tim.

Since we published the interview in 2017bit has been viewed over 330K times  on You Tube alone and shared 55 times too …. but by then we knew how very loved this iconic gay man was.  

Like everyone else we miss him so much since he was taken from us so early, which makes this video of ours even more precious.

 

 

Whilst remembering all the joy he gave us through his work, it seems only fitting too include this collage of Beverley Leslie  (and his Personal Assistant Benji) being so offended at somehow always being mistaken for being a homosexual
