“The past year has shaken up the film festival ecosystem. The whole country is taking another look at the way it receives entertainment, including films. But small, community-based film festivals like OUT at the Movies are well poised to meet the shifting landscape” said Cullen. “We are energized and more committed than ever to being a welcoming pillar of the community, and a platform to share exciting LGBTQ+ content and bring people together. I could not be more excited to help lead the festival into this new future.”
