SPECIAL EDITION: Heart Breaks Open Interview and SLGFF 2011

Gendercast:  SPECIAL EDITION  Heart Breaks Open and Three Dollar Bill Cinema Interviews

Join us for a special film edition!  Listen in to our interview with Jason Plourde, Programming Director of Three Dollar Bill Cinema, producers of the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, as we discuss some of the films in the festival this year with a flavor or flair of gender, trans, intersex and queer.  There are so many to see and we hope Seattle folks can make it out to the festival October 14-23, 2011 at various theaters around Seattle.

Then join us for our HEART BREAKS OPEN interview, a film about queer life, public health and community accountability.  Samonte Cruz, who plays Johnny, and Basil Shadid, producer of the film talk about the way the film was made; the actors were also writers as each brought their own life experience to the development of their characters.  We also hear from Basil and Samonte about the different elements of the film, including what happens when different identities play up against each other, such as cis gay men in relationships with transmen/transfags.
