This is a little late, but I had an incredible time at the East Village Queer Film Festival @wildprojectnyc ! I saw several fun, poignant, heartfelt films and got to see BOTTOM FEEDER for the first time with an audience. Also had the opportunity to meet the incomparable @murrayhill at the @lolarocknrolla13 film retrospective. Thank you @evqff for putting on an amazing show. by @evqff
