LGBTQ+ Toronto & LA Film Festival @lgbtlatoronto.bsky.social · Dec 4
Festivals occur every single month. We are proud to announce that we will be using the audience feedback format where all accepted films receive a video of people talking about their film at the festival. Excellent video to use for promotional purposes too.

It was hysterical. We wanted to make it naughty and fun. When the camera stopped rolling, it was hard to stop laughing. – about her love scene with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible II (2000).

The devil is seductive, and so guns are glorious in the culture. For instance, Spike Lee said something like this, that you can’t have a scene with drugs in a film that doesn’t secretly make you want to do drugs.
