Set in the early 1900's, the film follows the story of Margaret Harkin, a lower class seamstress, and her encounter with Emily Blake, an elegant young debutante from an aristocratic household. As Emily's overbearing mother makes the final arrangements for her daughter to be married and Margaret labours to complete the dress Emily is to be wed in, it becomes apparent that any form of association between the two women could prove too volatile to be permitted. Sometimes People... is the story of two women who meet, fall for each other, and then explode violently upon touching.

Sheldon Larry’s audacious, raunchy and big-hearted musical—with songs by Beyonce’s music director Kim Burse and choreography by Beyonce’s dance master Frank Gatson Jr.—takes us into the fabulously funky world of voguing. (Remember the documentary Paris is Burning?) Here the setting is contemporary downtown L.A. Our hunky, homeless hero Brad , discarded by his homophobic mom, falls in with the members of the House of Eminence, ruled by the stern aging diva Queef Latina, who keeps a careful, loving watch over her makeshift family of runaways and throwaways. When two of her crew fall for Brad, the Queef is royally unamused. High flying and low down, Leave it on the Floor is a one of a kind celebration—a gay African-American musical about f inding your true family. (Description courtesy of the LA Film Festival.)
Kicked out of his home for being gay, a young man (Ephraim Sykes) finds a new family with Los Angeles drag queens.

But when Pim turns sixteen, he begins dreaming of Gino, the handsome boy next door, instead.

Got it Bad for the Wrong Girl? From the director of the festival circuit hit Hannah Free comes Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together, a romantic musical comedy that tells the story of two queer girls whose codependent, loyal friendship is fraught with erotic tension. Jamie is moving from Chicago to Brooklyn with hopes of becoming a Broadway actress. Her best friend Jessica is bummed because she thinks she’s in love with Jamie. As moving day gets closer, Jessica tries to make Jamie jealous by dating other women, but Jessica’s plan backfires in a way she could never imagine. Within this world of love and lust, Jamie and Jessie must figure out how to grow together, or how to grow apart. “Jamie and Jessie Are Not Together is a sweet, appealing musical comedy,” Roger Ebert.
Jamie is moving in two weeks from Chicago to New York hoping to become a Broadway actress. Her best friend Jessica is bummed because she’s not-so-secretly in love with Jamie. As moving day gets closer, Jessica tries to make Jamie jealous by dating other girls. But Jessica’s plan backfires, in a way she could never imagine. Set in working class Chicago and infused with musical dance numbers, “Jamie and Jessie are Not Together” is a love letter to those gray areas of love and lust and to the young romances we will never forget.
