Фильмы

Cured
Executive Producer
Mentally ill. Deviant. Diseased. And in need of a cure. These were among the terms psychiatrists used to describe gay women and men in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. And as long as they were “sick”, progress toward equality was impossible. This documentary chronicles the battle waged by a small group of activists who declared war against a formidable institution – and won a crucial victory in the modern movement for LGBTQIA+ equality.

The Lavender Scare
Executive Producer

The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson
Associate Producer
Describing herself as a 'street queen,' Johnson was a legendary fixture in New York City’s gay ghetto and a tireless voice for LGBT pride since the days of Stonewall, who along with fellow trans icon Sylvia Rivera, founded Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R.), a trans activist group based in the heart of NYC’s Greenwich Village. Her death in 1992 was declared a suicide by the NYPD, but friends never accepted that version of events. Structured as a whodunit, with activist Victoria Cruz cast as detective and audience surrogate, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson celebrates the lasting political legacy of Johnson, while seeking to finally solve the mystery of her unexplained death.
После Луи
Executive Producer
Сэм Куппер - известный художник, на склоне лет решает снять документальный фильм о проблеме СПИДа, с которой он знаком не понаслышке. Будучи активистом движения против СПИДа в 1980-х и 90-х годах, Сэм был свидетелем смерти слишком многих друзей и любовников. Его миновала эта печальная участь, но это не дает ему право забыть о прошлом. Пересматривая старые архивные записи, он отчаянно пытается понять, как, гей-сообщество докатилось до такого и какова ситуация сегодня. Сравнивая жизнь погибших друзей с жизнью своих молодых партнеров, Сэм поражается равнодушию современного поколения к политике секса и смерти. Очевидно, молодые геи не могут или не хотят понимать, через что прошел Сэм. А возможно, главный герой просто застрял в прошлом, а его фильм так и не найдет своего зрителя.
Back on Board: Greg Louganis

In 2011, he is far from the public eye and struggling to pay his mortgage. Now, the openly gay, HIV+ world-class athlete returns to diving to mentor the USA Olympic hopefuls. This may be his best chance to regain the notoriety -- and financial stability -- he enjoyed at the height of his career.
Compared To What: The Improbable Journey of Barney Frank
Self
An intimate portrait of recently retired Congressman Barney Frank, one of our most well-known and least understood political figures, this documentary alternates between deeply personal moments and the inner workings of our political process. Rare archival material and interviews reveal the emotional pain and harmful effects of a closeted life, the relief of coming out and the triumph of love through the Congressman's historic same-sex marriage. Frank's journey is our country's journey, a classic American story about a dedicated public servant who never loses hope.
