Watch Online: Local Filmmaker Showcase – Streaming June 13–15
While the rain may have washed out our outdoor screening at Red’s Beer Garden, the spirit of Pride—and queer storytelling—goes on.
Join us online for Local Filmmaker Showcase: Queer Representation as Resistance, a special collection of short films created by and for Georgia’s LGBTQ+ community. Originally planned as a live event, this virtual screening uplifts bold, beautiful work that affirms identity, confronts erasure, and embodies the resilience of queer artists.
Each film in this showcase is a testament to the power of representation—honoring how art and activism intersect in the face of ongoing cultural pushback. These shorts speak to resistance, radical joy, and the enduring strength of chosen family.
We're grateful to Red’s Beer Garden for their continued support and allyship—even if the clouds had other plans.
This special screening is spotlight on the incredible work of filmmakers and represents the projects supported by the Out On Film Fundraiser. Funds raised help us provide travel stipends, filmmaker awards, and completion grants that empower LGBTQ+ voices in cinema. Visit our Kickstarter page to learn more.
Calen, a queer black woman, navigates her inner turmoil, anxiety and worldly external forces while receiving guidance from her ancestor Dula to seek and find her fearlessness. She realizes she's always had the power within to conquer her fears, and find her brave future.
Completed in 2 days as apart of the OTV Brave Futures 48-hour Film Race. Filmed in Atlanta, GA.
