Deadline to Submit to the Festival:
Thank you, LGBTQ+ Toronto & Los Angeles Film Festival, for screening ’12 angry lesbians’! It was a rare treat to get audience feedback and learn what resonated with people. As a filmmaker one hopes that one’s ideas, and themes get communicated through the script, cinematography, and performances. The feedback I received encouraged me to continue making films. And for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for going the extra mile as a film festival. I wish they all did what you do–not only the feedback– but getting attention for our independent films through youtube and podcasts. You really know how to show support and love for film and filmmakers. Thank you.
