It is fitting that a man who has done so much & dedicated himself to making the world a better place for humans & primates be added to this traveling exhibit. At this time in our nation & world’s history it is critically important that educational story telling travels to cities far & wide, providing a historical & cultural context for the LGBTQ+ community & the general public. Knowledge is the best tonic in fighting hate, prejudice & ignorance. Foundations like Arcus & people like Jon make that possible.” The “Standing on the Shoulders of Heroes” Exhibition has been displayed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Philadelphia, PA, NYC; Washington D.C., New Orleans, LA, New Jersey, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Rockland County, New York, Arlington, TX, West Palm Beach, FL & continues its travels to cities & corners of this country from coast to coast.

Super Happy Fun Clown Stream Event

The Horror Collective announced that the acclaimed festival slasher film “Super Happy Fun Clown” directed by Patrick Rea will premiere exclusively on BloodStream beginning January 1st. Written & produced by Eric Winkler with Patrick Rea also serving as producer “Super Happy Fun Clown” follows Jennifer a once-celebrated child prodigy who now performs as Jenn-O the Clown. During a chaotic Halloween night she channels the personas of classic movie monsters & notorious serial killers transforming a simple side hustle into a night of catharsis, confrontation & escalating carnage. Patrick Rea stated, "This film is the result of years spent exploring the line between identity & performance. Jenn-O is raw, unfiltered & more than a little dangerous. BloodStream is the perfect home because the platform supports films that take creative risks & speak directly to genre fans." Winkler added, "We set out to make something that pushes boundaries. BloodStream’s audience embraces original voices & we are honored for viewers to make Jenn-O’s dream of ‘fortune and glory’ come true. Infamy equals immortality!" BloodStream’s Heidi Honeycutt concluded, "My years in festival programming taught me how quickly a film with a strong voice can ignite genuine excitement. Super Happy Fun Clown has that spark. Supporting filmmakers with proven festival presence & giving sales partners a platform that champions discovery is exactly what BloodStream was built to do." BloodStream is the dedicated streaming service from The Horror Collective & Studio Dome. Following its BloodStream premiere January 1st the film will expand to additional platforms later in 2026. The Horror Collective is the genre label of Entertainment Squad founded by producer Shaked Berenson.

Filmmakers Talk Movie Jimpa (AUDIO)

The feature film Jimpa that premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival is screening at the MFA WQ Fall Focus event in Boston on Sunday December 7th at 2P. Jimpa starring Olivia Colman & John Lithgow is about filmmaker Hannah (Colman) & her nonbinary teen Frances (Aud Mason Hyde) who travel to Amsterdam to reconnect with their estranged father & grandfather Jimpa (Lithgow) as things unravel in unexpected ways. Frances’ desire to stay with Jimpa for a full year tests Hannah’s beliefs about parenting, identity & family. As tensions surface Jimpa weaves a tender, emotionally charged portrait of queer kinship, legacy & the fragile bonds between parents & children. Directed by Sophie Hyde Jimpa is a semi-autobiographical work from Hyde who stated, “Casting a version of yourself is not an easy task. It’s very tricky to do & so there’s a part of the story that’s incredibly sort of drawing on our real lives & then there’s a whole lot of fiction as well. Obviously there’s Jim & there’s also Aud who is my child & they’re a bit older than Frances, but there’s elements of the relationship between Hannah & Frances that definitely are in us.” Like Hyde Hannah’s a married film artist from Adelaide, the mother of a transgender, nonbinary teenager & the daughter of a father who came out gay when she was a child. I talked to Sophie Hyde & Aud Mason Hyde in this exclusive chat about their film Jimpa last summer at the Provincetown International Film Festival & their spin on our LGBTQ issues. LISTEN

Stop The Insanity Finding Susan Powter

The new documentary about Susan Powter the ’90s pop culture icon who burst onto the scene with her signature bleach-blonde buzz cut & bold health message will be released on all major VOD platforms December 9th. After conquering infomercials, becoming a New York Times bestselling author, hosting her own talk show & seeing her face on thousands of products Powter dramatically walked away from Hollywood & into obscurity. Crippling lawsuits with her business partners left her bankrupt & she lived as a total recluse below the poverty line in Las Vegas where filmmaker Zeberiah Newman ultimately found her. “Stop The Insanity: Finding Susan Powter Will” explores Powter's rise & fall while asking what it will take to bring her back to audiences & whether her message “Stop The Insanity” is still as relevant & powerful today as it was in the early ’90s. Director Zeberiah Newman stated, “Telling Susan’s story has been the most challenging & rewarding experience of my career. It forced me to cut through years of tabloid mythology & see her as she truly is: a survivor, a truth-teller & a woman whose voice still matters in a culture that so often erases those who refuse to conform. This film is not a biopic—it is a meditation on resilience, fame & the fight to hold onto your power when the world tries to take it away.” The film features Executive Producer Jamie Lee Curtis, Ross Mathews & Powter. What emerges from “Stop The Insanity: Finding Susan Powter Will” is not just a portrait of Powter’s strength but a searing reflection of the urgent crises reshaping our country today.

“Between Goodbyes” PBS Film (AUDIO)

This week I talked to filmmaker Jota Mun about “Between Goodbyes” the first-time director’s feature that POV will debut on PBS at 10P Monday December 8th. The film follows a Korean adoptee reconnecting with her original mother in Seoul as she unravels decades of silence, stigma, confronting long-held regrets all while facing cultural misunderstandings with tenderness, humor & resilience. “Between Goodbyes” is an open love letter to all original mothers who have suffered from family separation providing a deeper understanding about how the adoption industry affects families globally. As a Korean adoptee Mun’s lived experience brings personal insight & uncommon intimacy to a story that reframes conventional narratives about adoption & kinship. Jota filmed “Between Goodbyes” during the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic through 2021. Archival photos & footage trace the family’s milestones including a reunion in the Netherlands in 2002, time together in South Korea in 2016 & another visit in 2021. Through candid conversations with siblings & extended family “Between Goodbyes” reveals how secrecy & migration intersect inviting audiences into a story that is as complicated as it is loving. Featured in the film are participants Okgyun Kang, Mieke Murkes & Ruth Chon. “Between Goodbyes” made its world premiere at the 2024 DMZ International Film Festival winning the Emerging Filmmaker Award for Jota. The film also won the Special Jury Award for Feature Documentary at the 2024 Santa Fe International Film Festival & was an Official Selection of 2024 DOC NYC.
