CMG Gay Short Film Festival at WeHo City Council Chambers

This program begins with what should be the ultimate rejoinder to what was once a highly controversial film depiction of a gay subculture. Then a young man has to make a choice that may cost a friendship; a spurned lover finds wisdom about his ex; a daughter discovers something about her mom; a couple exhibit an utter lack of wisdom when their son’s drawing sparks an intimate conversation; a young party crasher thinks she knows it all; an old man reflects on the unwise choices of his youth; two women on the prowl find out it’s not always safe to speak in code; a man finds solace where most men only find sex; and it all boils down to a familiar bit of wisdom: you are what you eat. Tickets are $10 for each set of screenings and $35 for all four. They can be purchased online beginning Aug. 22 at https://cmgfilmfest2014.webconnex.com/cmgfilmfestival. All proceeds will be donated to AIDSWalk LA.
