TWIST Was A Huge Success…Announces Winners

The first rebranded Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival is a wrap! And, “TWIST: Seattle Queer Film Festival” was a huge hit thanks to the hard work of the event’s producers, Three Dollar Bill Cinema under the leadership of executive director Jason Plourde and this year’s programming director Keith Bacon. (Oh, and the hard work of the entire team and Three Dollar Bill’s awesome volunteers).

They even overcame the drama of losing their main exhibition venue after the Egyptian Theatre suffered structural damage after being hit by a truck 3 days into the festival!

Here’s all the poo from Three Dollar Bill on what films won in the various competitions and what to look forward to next…a make-up screening/live event of the locally made film THE LONG HAUL starring local male exotic dance troupe The Buckaroos happening on Tuesday November 1 back at the Egyptian.

Thanks to Everyone Who Came Out to TWIST!
We’re celebrating TWIST: Seattle Queer Film Festival as one for the record books! But, wait – there’s more!
You can still enjoy arTWIST: Reflections through October 30,  and don’t forget about the rescheduled interactive performance of THE LONG HAUL LIVE, happening November 1 at the Egyptian.

 THE LONG HAUL LIVE / Tues., Nov 1 at 8pm at SIFF Cinema Egyptian
Rescheduled from its original TWIST date
 Ticketholders and Full Series Passholders: your ticket or pass will admit you to the rescheduled event;
no exchange is necessary.
THE FULL MONTY meets the (very) Wild West in this interactive live performance and documentary film featuring six “average joes” baring their souls-and then some. This locally created production follows the visionaries behind Seattle’s Moulin Rouge-inspired cabaret club, Can Can, who set out to reimagine the male revue.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
