Seed Money: The Chuck Holmes Story (directed by Michael Stabile)
7:00pm @ SIFF Cinema Egyptian
Chuck Holmes, a San Francisco videographer who created Falcon Studios, single-handedly transformed the porn industry from back alley to mainstream, shaping how gay men saw themselves. He was also a founder of the Human Rights Campaign and Democratic fundraiser—but while his money was welcome, he often was not. This revealing documentary also features interviews with stars Jeff Stryker, Tom Chase, and Jim Bentley; Falcon directors Steven Scarborough, Chi Chi LaRue, and John Rutherford; and fans of the films, including John Waters and Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears.

College freshmen Benny and Christopher meet playing football, and there’s an instant connection. Their parents support their budding relationship, and all is well until memories of a past tragedy involving their mothers tests the men’s growing affection and threatens to tear apart their families. Shot on location in rural Ohio with an ensemble cast, this thoughtful love story and classic family drama with a Midwestern spin deals with themes of love, loss, and forgiveness, packing a strong emotional punch.
“The festival--which first launched with a sold-out presentation of short films and a flyer that said ‘Queer as a Three Dollar Bill Cinema’--aspired to bring the worldwide boom in queer filmmaking to Seattle’s LGBT community, and help the community see itself on screen,” says Three Dollar Bill Cinema Executive Director Jason Plourde. “Our mission today is the same: to showcase extraordinary and award-winning work relevant to the LGBT community, and to encourage members of this community from around the world to express their creativity and tell their stories through film and video.”
The 2015 Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival is produced by Three Dollar Bill Cinema.
Festival Box Office with full program is now open at http://www.threedollarbillcinema.org/2015
