Taken in Los Angeles, California (See more photos or videos here)

34°5' 49" N, 118°17' 42" W

With Calpernia Addams (L) and Andrea James (R), the star and director, respectively, of the fantastic short film "Casting Pearls." Snapshot from after a screening held during Outfest film festival in Los Angeles.

Watch the trailer: Link.

The short was terrific, and I hope they reach a wide audience beyond the GLBT community with this. As an aside, the abbreviation "GLBT" always sounds like a sandwich to me. Maybe a BLT with gouda.

But I digress. There were other very strong shorts in this "all-girls" screening, films that also struck me as having appeal to wider audiences -- if they could only get the distro. My other favorites in the bunch were "Make a Wish" (Director: Cherien Dabis, shot on location in the West Bank) and "Pariah" (Director: Dee Rees, a wonderful tale of teen identity in NYC). Totally great stuff, well worth waking up for at the crack of noon on a hot July Sunday.

	xeni says: Heh! Well, in fact, both of the ladies to my right and my left are actors as well. Calpernia stars in this particular short, and Andrea directed. But they're very talented performers, and you're absolutely right. Posted 12 months ago. ( permalink )
