Openers!
As promised, a very special Pride announcement. Open to It Episodes One and Two will be having their US premiere at Outfest, the biggest LGBTQIA Film Festival in the world!
We're playing in the shorts program: Fellas That Were In the Mood.
On Monday, July 18th at 9:30PM.
Tickets are now available on the main page of the website.
3 + 3 = 6, so the delay this month kinda makes sense? Maybe? Whatever. Being late is queer culture. Get into it!
Lots to share, Openers! God is good to the gays. We were invited to be the opening film of Rio LGBTQIA+ Festival. “Come to Brazil” indeed! We were also selected to be the closing show of qFlix Philadelphia Hybrid Film Festival.
I’ll be interviewing with Instinct Magazine soon about the show, and already spoke with OutFront Magazine. That interview will be out soon, but you can read a piece from me in Authority Magazine here: https://medium.com/authority-magazine/how-writer-producer-frank-arthur-smith-of-open-to-it-is-helping-to-make-the-entertainment-d8e4b2327abd
Thanks to the generosity of Camp TV, we presented the show at RuPaul's DragCon! We had a wonderful time sharing the show with our queer peers, and were also able to introduce the wonderful Manila Luzon into Episode 5 after a lovely meeting.
New Filmmakers Los Angeles is Saturday, June 18th. You can still buy tickets on the main page of our website! Finally, expect to hear from us again later this month, for a very special Pride announcement. Love and kisses!

And as for yesterday: may the fourths (or thirds) be with you
Incredibly exciting news this month! Wicked Queer was a smashing success. Childhood friends, reluctant family, and enthusiastic fans packed the Brattle Theater to watch the World Premiere of OPEN TO IT Episode 1: “Open to Threesomes.” So positive was the online response that we won Best Comedy Short! Audience awards are the best.
If you missed Episode 1 while it was online — fear not! We’ll be premiering the pilot in LA on Saturday, June 18th as part of our next festival appearance: New Filmmakers LA. Tickets will be available soon here: https://www.newfilmmakersla.com/events/event/june-18th-2022-monthly-film-festival-infocus-lgbtq-infocus-disability/
We’ve been receiving some cool press lately, from the Bay Area Reporter (https://www.ebar.com/events/arts_events/_//315084/going_out,_homings_in,_april_29-may_6,_2022 ) and Boss Rush Network ( https://bossrush.net/2022/04/30/after-dark-review-open-to-it-episode-one/ ). We’ve also recorded an episode of the delightful podcast Queer Words ( https://queerwords.org/ ), coming soon.
And last, but not least…we film Episodes 4 - 6 at the end of this month! Can’t wait to share more of our adventures and dalliances with all you voyeurs.
Till next time, Openers.
