7/13/13 at Outfest

It's that time of year again...OUTFEST baby! There are so many great films I wanna check out. My nieces and I are so happy that they're having a Pitch Perfect Sing-Along. We watch it everyday and we're looking forward to getting #PitchSlapped with other fans.

 

Thursday, 7/11, is the Outfest Opening Night Gala but I'm more excited for the 13th. It's my birthday and they're showing an amazing film at the fest. I saw The Most Fun I've Ever Had With My Pants On last year at the AFI Fest and fell in love with Drew Denny! I've been raving about this film for the longest and I'm glad that my friends are going to get a chance to see it.

Young & Wild at Outfest

Caught a Chilean film, "Joven Y Alocada," at the DGA for Outfest 2012. The title actually surpassed my expectations of the film. It was definitely a wild one. It's a more graphic KIDS, for the 21st Century. The film is based on an actual blog. I loved the cinematography and soundtrack. I'm not much of a film reviewer but I suggest you see it when it comes out independently in the fall.

Desserts & Liquor

I was invited to a screening of a double feature of Showtime shows THE BIG C & WEEDS. Thanks to Outfest & Power Up, I received emails from both of them; I RSVP'd and went with friends & family.

It was great seeing the shows on a big screen, Directors Guild of America. I've always been a fan of Weeds so I was excited for the new season. The new series The Big C stole my heart; I instantly fell in love!

After the screening, there was an after party in the lobby of DGA. The theme was, "Desserts & Liquor", taken from a line from the new series. Indeed, that's what the party was. Cool promotional candy bars, cupcakes & alcohol. I love when there's an open bar. Absolut & Stella Artois. They had specialty drinks: The Lit (lemon drop) & The Big C (cosmo). They had a cool weeds display of brownies.


It was a great night! I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

Watch Showtime: BECAUSE WE MUST!
