I recently met up with Ms. Meyerson and her darling rescue terrier Molly in their spacious Culver City offices. Andrea has so much going on in her world, it’s hard to keep up! Her new film project Clambake (about the history of Provincetown’s Women’s Week, and celebrating the WW 30th anniversary) is now in the […]
With the new year comes the new resolve. With the new resolve came the Fitbit. After knee replacement surgery last year I was given a painkiller that made me constantly nauseous. That took care of the first ten pounds I needed to lose real quick. Since it was awhile before I could swallow anything other […]
New Series! The Women behind the Lesbian Films We Love: We watch their films. We watch their films many times. If we love their current film, we want more. And we want to know these writers, directors and producers who labor to bring poignant, dramatic, comedic or documentary films to us. This is the first […]

If you’ve read my recent blog about holiday grudges you know what I mean. I discussed a few essentials, but we haven’t yet focused on the interesting question: […]
Just before Halloween this year, The Circle, the gay movie that is Switzerland’s official submission for a Best Foreign Picture Oscar Nomination, was being screened in Kiev’s iconic theatre Cinema Zhovten as part of on an LGBT Film Series. Anti-LGBT protests, and the burning of pride flags took place outside, but during the next screening […]
My last experience on a plane was reminiscent of the 80’s and what I mean by that is three words—People Express Airlines. Way back in the day when you could actually smoke a cigarette on a plane and add to the already toxic inflight recycled bad breath air—you could also travel from LA to New […]
The holidays are in full swing. In fact, we’re right in the thick of it– preparations are being made, money is being spent, and that deeply ingrained sense of doom which occurs every year around this time is rising to the surface: The Grudge Beast is getting ready to unleash. Every Christmas, couples go through […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
