I just found out that Butch Jamie won the Jury Award for "Best Narrative Feature" at the Chicago Reeling Film Festival! The festival was in November, but they just announced the winners (you can check out my blog posting about Chicago here).
As I posted last week, I interviewed with Tello Films while I was in Chicago. Below are some outtakes from our interview. I wish I could say that I was drunk or something - I mean, whatever I'm laughing at, was it really necessary to clap, laugh, and twirl around?
I also have another section of the interview to show you (the video screen size is smaller because of the way it's uploaded). The first section of the interview was posted in last week's blog if you haven't seen it yet. This second one's not bad if you can get past me plugging my websites for the first half of it...
I had a dream the other night that I ran into Ellen DeGeneres and we took a series of photos for my blog. Actually, what happened was, we took some photos for the blog and I found out that she had a crush on me. Then I ended up going home with the guy who took the photos and he and I made out. So disturbing! I mean, Ellen's not really my type, but we'd certainly make a better match than me and that guy.
I don't have those photos of us, but I did find this rather awkward one of Ellen fumbling with Martin Short dressed as a fat guy.
It kind of looks like a photo taken from the Democratic National Convention, doesn't it? I'm not sure what I mean by that, but I just can't help thinking that it looks like Hillary Clinton is holding up an extra large Bill. I am voting for Hillary, by the way, so I don't mean any disrespect.
But enough about that. So as I covered in my blog awhile back, I went to the Reeling Film Festival in Chicago a couple of months ago. While I was there, I interviewed with Tello Films.
They are kind of like a lesbian version of YouTube in that you can upload your own films, although Tello produces some of their own videos as well.
I originally met the owners at Outfest last summer. We kept in touch and met up in Chicago for Butch Jamie's screening where they hosted an after party. A couple of days later, we met up again for an interview in the theater complex.
The video just recently got uploaded. It's in three parts, although I'll just post part one for now -
Also, I found a really funny video posted online from The Big Gay Sketch Show called "Lesbian Phone Sex." It's nothing racy like you may be hoping for, but it is entertaining. The woman calling in is Julie Goldman; I've seen her in a few other things, and she's really funny.
I'm not wearing any clothes..... ....that were made in sweatshops!
Welcome to my first blog entry! I've had some fun adventures lately in conjunction with my film, "Butch Jamie." For those of you who aren't familiar with the film, you can check out the trailer and more at www.butchjamie.com
OK, how about we start with the Tampa Gay and Lesbian Film Festival which I went to last month. It was a blast -- lots of cool people and great parties.
This photo above is great. I look like I just escaped from the hospital with my blotchy face, wrist band, and dixie cup. The gentleman on the far left is Duncan Roy, the director of "The Picture of Dorian Gray." I think he is pretending that he's Kenny from "South Park."
Here we are onstage. The festival programmer, Roberta Munroe, introduced us at all of the screenings so that we could promote our films. I guess no one told me that we were all supposed to look off to the right...
Here we are hanging out in the Green Room backstage. This photo is a great one of Duncan picking his teeth and me looking up at the ceiling with a goofy look on my face. I think that if we ever get famous enough to have the paparazzi care about us, Duncan and I should take classes.
These are from the "Frisky Friday" girls party. Here I met Elizabeth and Jill who had seen two of my shorts, "Ballet Diesel" and "Half-Laughing." They told me that they were very excited to see my new movie; I had no idea that I already had fans! Elizabeth, the one on the right, interviewed me for ImGay.tv, featured at the top of this page.
Well, that's all for today. I have some more festival photos that I'll show you soon! To be continued...
