The Happy Sad - EDGEOnTheNet

The Happy Sad - EDGEOnTheNet | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

The making of Family Restaurant, a short film for kids with LGBT parents by Andrea James

The making of Family Restaurant, a short film for kids with LGBT parents by Andrea James | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

Longtime friend and Boing Boing contributor Andrea James has just completed a Kickstartered short film for children from LGBT families. I saw it this week, and was blown away by how funny and sweet it was. I know how hard she's worked on this; a true labor of love. I hope kids (and grown-ups) far and wide have a chance to experience both the art and the message. For readers in the SF Bay Area, there's a screening on Sunday June, 2013 in the Frameline LGBT film festival at San Francisco's Castro Theatre. Andrea writes in to Boing Boing with the backstory.

Tribeca Film Festival: Making 'GBF' - New York Times (blog) | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it

With “G.B.F.,” playing in the Spotlight section of the Tribeca Film Festival, the director Darren Stein heads back to school. His 1999 film “Jawbreaker” used the high school setting as the backdrop for darkly comic and vicious shenanigans, with a candy-colored production design and nods to other teen movies of the ’80s and ’90s. “G.B.F.”  also offers a heightened, glossier and more colorful version of high school, but with a lighter touch.
