$3 Bill Cinema’s Reel Queer Youth Returns For 2019; Deadline for Students/Mentors Is June 15th

June 13, 2019• byMichael Strangeways

REEL QUEER YOUTH, the fantastic summer video production camp for LGBTQIA+ youth and allies ages 13-20, is back in business for the Summer of 2019! The program has been a terrific asset to the Seattle community for years but Three Dollar Bill Cinema, who produce the event, needed to take a break from it in 2018 to focus on some in-house changes for the non-profit which produces not only this event, but the annual Queer Film Festival in October and the Translations Film Festival in May plus numerous other film events and programs like the Outdoor Film Screenings in Cal Anderson Park in the summer.

Applications are still open to be a part of the 2019 RQY program for both students and experienced adult mentors to work with them.

A bit more info below including links to apply. You only have until June 15th (Saturday!) so pass this along to any student or mentor who might be interested!

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.
