OUT LOUDThe short film A FRAGMENTED QUARANTINE DREAM will play before the feature.

“For in me, I found my truth; and my truth came out as song.” OUT LOUD chronicles the ups and downs of the first season of the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles—the largest group of transgender and gender non-conforming people anywhere in the world that comes together regularly to sing—and be heard. As the choristers gear up for their 2016 public concert debut, they share their amazing life stories and reveal what it means to be trans in America. This extraordinary chorus makes more than music. It’s making history. Director BioDirector, producer, writer Gail Willumsen has spent three decades making documentaries for National Geographic Television, Discovery, PBS and other outlets.&nbsp;&nbsp;Her work has explored topics from space exploration to archaeology, wildlife conservation to global health issues.&nbsp;She has earned three Emmys, a Peabody Award and many other accolades, but the real reward, says Willumsen, “is the incredible generosity of strangers around the world who allow me into their lives, and trust me with their amazing stories.”&nbsp;Willumsen has a BA and MFA in film production from UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television.

CBFF presents OUT LOUD

The short film A FRAGMENTED QUARANTINE DREAM and recorded introduction with Artistic & Programming Director, Michael Brody will play before the feature

A FRAGMENTED QUARANTINE DREAM A FRAGMENTED QUARANTINE DREAM offers a glimpse of a rural Colorado town during Covid-19 quarantine March 2020. This was one night in the life of my quarantine in a small town nestled in mountains when every single business was closed and the streets sat empty. This was filmed at the very beginning stages of quarantine when I had the bittersweet feeling of delight and a fantastical sense of disbelief in an empty town.&nbsp; There are two versions of this piece filmed on the same night on a full moon on Elk Avenue in Crested Butte. This is the light, magical ""feel-good"" perspective that suspends reality and the weight of the circumstances at hand.&nbsp; Part 2: Warped: Covid Time explores the shadow side of the same exact time period of the global pandemic expressing the energy of anxiety, fear, masks and business closures. Inspired by the light of the full moon on empty streets, Collaborator/Cinematographer Trevor Main captured these improvised, spontaneous movement pieces created on site, during a very specific time and place in Crested Butte's history of the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to playing as a part of Narrative Shorts Program 1, A FRAGMENTED QUARANTINE DREAM will play in front of HIGH COUNTRY and OUT LOUD. ﻿Director BioFilmmaker Sasha Chudacoff used the Covid-19 lockdown to tackle the damage plastics do to our planet in the best way she can: through dance.&nbsp;

A FRAGMENTED QUARANTINE DREAM

A night in the life of Quarantine 2020 was captured. A tiny destination ski town, nestled in mountains had completely shut down. All businesses closed; the streets sat empty. During this initial stage of global pandemic, much was unknown. There is a bittersweet feeling of delight and fantastical sense of disbelief. In this suspended reality, I danced.
