It’s Twins! For the first time ever, QFest 2010 opens with two films
You Can’t Have it All Screening
It’s all about love as QFest 2010’s "Sweet Sixteen" opens with the World Premiere of a locally produced romantic comedy, You Can’t Have It All, with first-time director Jay Arnold, co-screenwriter Thom Cardwell, and stars Jon Lindstrom ("As The World Turns"), Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me!" "Pushing Daises") Natalia Cigliuti ("Raising the Bar," "Waterfront") and hot newcomer, Chris Murrah, and acting debut of James Duke Mason, with other cast and crew on the red carpet. The fun and frolic - who’s gay, who’s not (who should be) - will continue into the question and answer session following the screening.
Then there’s more love, lust, longing, tension and heartbreak, in Elena Undone once the immeasurable bond between Necar Zadegan ("24") and Traci Dinwiddie ("Supernatural") turns into a passionate relationship of "star-crossed lovers" threatened by outside forces. Director Nicole Conn (Little Man, Claire of the Moon) based the film’s story on her own life. Both Ms. Conn and Executive Produce Marina Rice Bader will be on hand to answer questions.
Come celebrate 16 years of Independent GLBT film with an evening under the stars at the marvelous Independence Visitor Center (6th & Market Sts.) with breathtaking views from the Liberty View Ballroom and Terrace on Independence Mall, overlooking the nation’s historic sites and city’s skyline. Festival goers will mix and mingle with the stars, directors, crew and other special festival quests. Dance and celebrate the night away with DJ Stephen Durkin while enjoying the generously stocked bar with products from our sponsors (three drink minimum per person for alcoholic beverages). Discount Voucher Parking will be available for the underground lot for 700 vehicles at Independence Visitor Center, for information, visit www.qfest.org
