25 Random Things I Did During My Big Fat Lesbian Depression

One of the great things about being a filmmaker is being able to travel to festivals and show your work to different audiences and meet really interesting people.  This weekend, my producer, Rebecca Sekulich, and I are in Fresno, CA, at the REEL PRIDE Film Festival, showing our short, 25 Random Things I Did During My Big Fat Lesbian Depression, and we’ve been enjoying spending time with other filmmakers and celebrating our work with the Fresno community. Fresno REEL Pride has been a huge supporter of my films over the years, from screening my short documentary,Straight Down the Aisle: Confessions of Lesbian Bridesmaids to hosting a script reading of my feature, The Diary of Penelope Cartier.  It is refreshing to get out of Los Angeles and present work in smaller communities, and it is also validating, as a filmmaker, to be in those audiences and know that that my stories speak to people in vast and diverse communities.
