‘Never Give Up!’ – Diana Nyad
Diana Nyad, 64, is an inspirational example of human endurance. As an older woman, out lesbian and amazing athlete, she blows my mind! Diana Nyad just made the swim from Cuba to Florida WITHOUT STOPPING!!! As she arrived on the beach yesterday afternoon, Diana was greeted by hundreds of cheering supporters, many of whom waved […]
Working with Jen Foster on ‘SHE’
One of my favorite sequences in Elena Undone is when Elena realizes she’s going to leave her husband. No words. Just the brilliant words and music from Jen Foster‘s Broken. I LOVE that song. It fit so incredibly well in the film that I knew I was going to work with Jen sometime in the […]
Nicole Conn, Lilith’s Merkin & the Next Big Thing
To meet Nicole Conn is to love her. She has been always been big fan of Epochalips, and in 2011, when she invited me down to her movie set in LA while she was filming A Perfect Ending, I jumped at the opportunity. I was welcomed with a warm hug, (managed to catch some amazing […]
God Shave the Queen!
Same-sex marriage comes to the UK! Diana would have been so proud. The Queen’s approval was the final formality necessary for this bill to become law. The new law enables gay couples to get married in both civil and religious ceremonies in England and Wales, provided that the religious institution consents. The Church of England, […]
On Race and Gender
I met some friends this morning at a breakfast restaurant in Berkeley I had been to once before. It’s a delightful little place with high quality dishes and what appears to be a somewhat high-end clientele, normally a place I really enjoy patronizing, as I’m a bit of a foodie. The first time I noticed […]
Remembering Lynnly
Ever had a friend who was with you through thick and thin, taught you important things, exasperated you, but led you through each stage of life feeling like you were running to keep up? Well I had that with Lynnly Labovitz. Today is her birthday and I woke up thinking I should try to be […]
Comedy for Equality IN / Michelle Shocked OUT
After Michele Shocked‘s recent homophobic rant in San Francisco, HopMonk Tavern owner Dean Biersch cancelled her scheduled March 29th show. That’s good news for North Bay queer comedy lovers. Marga Gomez stepped up to co-headline with Johnny Steele and entire door proceeds go to my favorite local organization, Spectrum LGBT Center, serving the North Bay. (Read […]
The World Wide Release of “A Perfect Endingâ€
What an exquisite roller-coaster we’ve been on the past few months! Just two years ago I called action and we started the production of “A Perfect Ending†starring the sublimely beautiful Barbara Niven and the uber-stunning Jessica Clark. These actresses literally melded into their roles! I cannot think of any other actresses on the planet […]
Don’t Miss ‘Pearlesque’ – The Party of the Year!
Over the past several years I’ve had the good fortune of volunteering for Spectrum LGBT Center, serving my local community in the North Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. Spectrum was founded in 1982 by Rev. Janie Spahr, a lesbian Presbyterian minister who is being prosecuted by her own church for marrying gay couples. […]
Depression is Not A Point of View
Depression is one of my realities. One that I, personally, deal with on a somewhat cyclical basis. I tell myself I am too lucky, too successful, too well adjusted (hah!) too old (or young) too fill-in-the-blanks to be feeling the way that I sometimes do about my life. Then I remember that what I am feeling is not […]
