ABOUT THE FILM:
Sheldon Larry’s audacious, raunchy and big-hearted musical—with songs by Beyoncé music director Kim Burse and choregraphy by Beyoncé 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 finding your true family.
LEAVE IT ON THE FLOOR was recently featured in an article in the Los Angeles Times about the upcoming Los Angeles Film Festival.

ABOUT THE FILM:
WE WERE HERE is the first documentary to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival and impact of AIDS in San Francisco. It explores how the City’s inhabitants were affected by, and how they responded to, that calamitous epidemic. Though a San Francisco-based story, WE WERE HERE extends beyond San Francisco and beyond AIDS itself. It speaks to our capacity as individuals to rise to the occasion, and to the incredible power of a community coming together with love, compassion, and determination.
WE WERE HERE is set for a Fall 2011 North American theatrical release by Red Flag.
