FilmOut is a festival organized each year made entirely of LGBT film submissions from local directors. The goal of the film festival is not only to honor the achievements of LGBT identified people in the film community, but to unite the San Diego community.
In past years actors such as Emma Roberts and Zachary Quinto have been among the people honored with an award at the end of the festival. In 2015, the film I Am Michael won best screenplay, best director, best supporting actors, and best narrative. The film is a drama about a gay activist, Michael Glatze, who rejects homosexuality and becomes a pastor.
This is the 18th year for the festival, which will be running from June 3rd through the 5th. There are a total of 40 films shown over the course of 3 days which will each contend for one of the various awards given at the end of the festival.
This festival is not only an opportunity to create more exposure for LGBT films, but it also spotlights the entire community. That being said, this is a fantastic opportunity to dispel stereotypes and promote equality that has been so often denied to LGBT identified people.
