(OUTscene NW) SLGFF 2013 Wrap Up: The Best, Good, Average, and Zero Awful!

by MK Scott 

Now that the 2013 Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival is over I could now reveal my Picks for the Best, Good, Average, and (Not) Awful films coming to a Film Fest, Theater or DVD in the coming year.

BEST

I am DiVine (Pictured)
Jeffery Schwartz'(Vito) much anticipated doc on Divine is Super Entertaining!

The Falls 2:Testament
Jon Garcia's Sequel to last year's The Falls is once again Greatly written and acted. More Sex scenes and is better after you see part one first.

Birthday Cake-
All Star Cast plus the Writer/Director, Chad Darnell is Brilliant and has a nice Modern Family Mockamentary style; Simply Brilliant!

Big Joy (See SIFF Review)

Shorts
Spooners  (Won Best short at SIFF and at SLGFF)
Alaska is a Drag, (a Tale of Flash and glitz and guts. Loved it!)
