Outfest Fusion Honors QTBIPOC Film and Figures

For nearly two decades Outfest Fusion has been celebrating QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous and People of Color) filmmakers and stories, helping to amplify the community’s work as well as inspire future creators via workshops, panels and industry networking initiatives. This year’s event, which kicks off today, will be no exception, featuring full length films, an array of shorts and Outfest’s popular “One-Minute Movie Contest”– in which aspiring filmmakers use their cell phones or cameras to make a one-minute short film on a select topic, all for a chance to win a cash prize and a slot at Outfest’s gala in August.

The hybrid of digital and in person L.A. events this year also has two drive-in screenings in Exposition Park, workshops, panels, and a lot more. Make sure to catch promising titles including Nathan Hale Williams’ All Boys Aren’t Blue; Marion Hill’s Ma Belle, My Beauty; Mari Walker’s See You Then; and Carlos Lopez Estrada’s Summertime. The shorts program should be inspiring as well with Maisie Richardson Sellers’ Sunday’s Child; Whitney Skauge’s The Beauty President; Fawzia Mirza’s Noor & Layla; and Jas Pitt & Kate Stonehill’s Mother, to name a few.
