    QFest Day 3

    Ticketing hotline was a buzz on Saturday, I guess even in this age of Internet automation, there’s still a need for person to person.Only saw one film, No End a peep into the life of the pretty lesbians next door, if you lived in Italy. Giulia (Cristina Serafini) and Chiara (love the playfully chic hairdo) (Irene Ivaldi) are partners ready to embark on the journey of artificial insemination, until Chiara finds a lump in her breast. Or as the subtitle translated – “You have a cancer to your breast”. The film’s director, Roberto Cuzzillo focus was not on content or character, it’s a film about light and shadow, making coffee,…

    QFest Day 2

    I choose the perfect film to see after my web design final on Friday. Actually, any film not about school, money or employment, would have been the perfect film. However, Drool really hit the spot. This hilarious dark comedy, is so my sense of humor. It’s off-beat and unexpectedly silly at times, with an underlining of meaningful stuff.

Being that my whole being gravitates towards swank and cocktails, this will be a highlight of my internship. Food Footnote: butlered hors d’oeuvers really must be smaller than miniature, they’ve got to be tiny bite size, otherwise the food goes to waste – “other” guest resist partaking as to not appear awkward during social…

    QFest 2009

    I’m interning at Philadelphia Cinema Alliance! (TLA Entertainment Group) It’s the final step in completing my Associates Degree from MCC. I’m getting a chance to do some minor website updates and being introduced to all things LGBTQ (for anyone not in the know, Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender and Queer). Not that there’s anything wrong with that, however, I would have preferred it if the internship coincided with Cinefest (formerly Philadelphia Film Festival) or with the upcoming French Film Festival. But QFest (formerly Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Film Festival) is where I landed, so I’m going to have fun with it! And most importantly, use it as a stepping stone to…
