Welcome to the 37th Out On Film

Over a decade ago, I vividly remember trying to pull together a panel of queer Atlanta filmmakers for an Out On Film event. It was not successful — I had fewer than five people show up.

Things have changed since that time. Atlanta is now one of the busiest filming locations in the world and the amount of talent that is living and working in the area — and who have relocated here — is staggering.

That makes running an Atlanta film festival so exciting. In years past, I would struggle to find enough area and original content, which is important for every film festival to have.

Nowadays, the struggle is figuring out what we have the room to show. What we have amassed this year makes me very proud. Emmy-nominated trans icon Scott Turner Schofield spent many years in Atlanta staging work such as “Underground TRANSit” at various venues.
