Get ready to serve, because Saturday night at Twisted Arts Film Fest is all about ballroom. 💃

10s Across the Borders follows three trailblazing ballroom performers from the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand as they share their journeys through Southeast Asia's voguing scene. It's gorgeous to look at, the performances are electric, and it's a powerful look at how q***r community and self-expression travel and transform across cultures.

It screens with the short film Same Time Next Year? from Anushay Sheikh. ✨ All tickets are pay what you can. https://loom.ly/k7rzLPs

🍿🎬 What a night in Tulsa! I was honored to attend the Oklahoma Premiere of Route 66: The Main Street of America with filmmaker John Paget, and the room was full of the people who keep the Mother Road’s story alive.

It was a treat to be there with Michael Wallis, Rhys Martin, and Ken Busby. Watch the video to hear what folks had to say about the film. The love for Route 66 was easy to see.

Congratulations to John Paget on a film that honors the road and the people along it. They’re headed all the way to LA on Route 66 so get a ticket and go see it!
