(MK SCOTT) MK chats with 'TEST' Director, Chris Mason Johnson, Playing Tomorrow at SLGFF!

by MK Scott

'Test;' is the new film by Chris Mason Johnson (The New Twenty) that has a little of 'Jeffery' meets a little of 'live and Kicking' set in the 1980's. I had a chance speak with Johnson this past June during SIFF 2013 and now it SLGFF screens it tomorrow at NWFF.

(MK SCOTT) MK chats with Big Joy directors, Eric Slade and Stephen Sila!

by MK Scott

When I saw the trailer for Big Joy; The James Broughton Story and was intrigued with the persona of the man, but what I learned was Broughton was a Queer Pioneer in the same league as Harry Hay (They had an affair back in the 30's) and was part of the Radical poet group, Pre-Beatnik (The Allen Ginsberg era) and an Avant Garde Filmmaker, Pre-Warhol.

During this year's SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival), I had a chance to chat with the Filmmaker of the fascinating Doc.

 SEATTLE (JUNE 9, 2013) - The 39th Seattle International Film Festival, the largest and most highly attended festival in the United States announced the winners of the SIFF 2013 Competition and Golden Space Needle Audience Awards; the awards were presented at a ceremony held at the Seattle Space Needle. The 25-day festival, which began May 16, featured over 447 films representing 85 countries, including 49 World (18 Features, 31 Shorts), 48 North American (38 Features, 10 Shorts), 17 US Premieres (6 Features, 11 Shorts), and over 700 screenings. Additionally, SIFF brought in more than 400 filmmakers, actors and industry professionals.


"Our most successful festival in the history of SIFF is ending on a high note and setting an exciting precedent for the future with Fanie Fourie's Lobola from our inaugural African Pictures programming taking home the top audience prize for best film with a Golden Space Needle Award," said SIFF Artistic and Co-Director Carl Spence. "With once-in-a-lifetime experiences including country western rock band The Maldives performing a haunting score to Victor Sjöström's 1928 classic film The Wind and the opportunity for audiences to meet more than 200 directors with their films across 25 days with massive attendance illustrated once again that Seattle has the most engaged, lively and active audiences of any city in the US."
