Art Erotica
Yesterdays interview which can be heard on www.OutCastAustin.com was awesome. Heath Riddle's new show on KOOP is impressive in content and polish; especially since it is only a few months old.
I think Heath has a hit on his hands.
I was on the show to promote a screening of my documentary, Art Erotica, at the Bootstrap Film Festival. To learn more go to http://bootstrap.bside.com/2008
Hope to cya at the screening which will be this Thursday, June 26th @ 6pm @ the Regal Arbor Cenima

“As a hot spot for innovation and film, Austin is the incubator for the future of film. Creative talent and technological vision converge with entrepreneurial drive to explore new ways for independent filmmakers to succeed.” – Brandy Rainey Amstel, Bootstrap Writer/Director

aGLIFF gives first time directors a chance to show off their "maiden" film projects. Wow, I have not thought of myself as a maiden before. Hehehehe, it's like the Quincenieta I never had. While my ultimate goal is for str8 audiences to see the film because they need to be educated about the growing epidemic in their community, I know the GLBTQ community will cackle at the witty lines, cat call at the sexy images, and take pride in the grassroots support and leadership that our community has shouldered from the beginning of the epidemic until HIV/AIDS is no more.

Cross your fingers and light a candle for me. I just submitted Art Erotica to the Austin Film Festival. My goal is to raise awareness about US HIV/AIDS outside the Gay community. Getting accepted into festivals like this would an amazing opportunity to educate a wider audience about the growing epidemic in our local community as well as give the Octopus Club the props they desire.

Given the US's prudish views toward sexuality and sinner stigma around HIV/AIDS, I knew that Art Erotica The Movie could elicit negative reactions. Well, I can already put a check mark in that box.
It is easier to believe that HIV/AIDS is something that happens to "Them" and not "Us". Hearing that the virus could infect you or someone you love can generate fear that turns into misplaced anger. That is exactly what happened in this case.
