Jorge is undocumented and queer. He is passionate and committed to bridge the immigrant rights movement and the LGBTQ movement in order for both movements to begin working and moving forward together. For him, both struggles are not paralleled but rather intersected and he is sight of such complex intersection. Jorge holds a Bachelor's in English from the California State University system. He wants to continue in his educational journey and obtain a Master's in Education and eventually obtain a PhD and become a professor.
Anne Galisky, the "Papers" Director is a co-founder of Graham Street Productions, which produces documentary films. Before becoming a filmmakers, Anne founded and operated Small World Builders, a building construction company, for fifteen years. She earned a Masters in History, with her research on the Japanese Internment included in the Internment Memorial at the Expo Center in Portland, Oregon.
Rebecca Shine, who along with El Grupo Juvenil, the "Papers" Youth Crew, produced "Papers," is a co-founder of Graham Street Productions. Her passion for literature and the art of story-telling drew her to documentary film production. Before producing "Papers," Rebecca provided consulting services to non-profits, schools and public agencies, focused on the areas of economic development, social services and youth leadership. She has mentored many young people, including a number of undocumented youth. Her passion for social and economic justice, matched by her love of story-telling inspired her to bring the stories of immigrant youth to light. |

Bent Lens Cinema presents "Queer Realities"
Starting with a Movie Night for LGBT Youth
(and Adults Welcome, too!)
Friday, February 25th @ 7:30pm - Nomad Theater (1410 Quince St, Boulder) |
|---|
FIT
Multi-talented writer, director, choreographer and composer, Rikki Beadle-Blair creates the perfect melting pot of students, music, and dance inside an East London high school where sexuality and gender identity are fluid, and dance and drama provide the stage for exploration. This "Glee" meets "Queer as Folk" world is set against the backdrop of a group of talented and creative young people, struggling to understand their own feelings while negotiating parents, bullies and social expectations. Hip hop dance numbers weave through the individual stories of several of the youth, who turn stereotypes upside down while forging their identities.
This is the best film you'll ever see about anti-queer bullying and how young people find creative ways to bridge differences and teach each other acceptance. Originally created for the stage as a project with London lgbt high school youth, the rhythms, clever dialogue and fabulous soundtrack will lift you to new understanding - it's wicked!
Preceded By...
"Team Queen"
Director: Leah Meyerhoff (3:30 mins)

Girlyman and Ellis - Live Music in Lyons! |
|---|
Planet Bluegrass presents amazing live music in the beautiful Wildflower Pavilion in Lyons, CO! Out Boulder will have an information table in the lobby before the concerts - be sure to drop by and say, "Hi!" For more information on the shows and to buy tickets...
Friday, March 11, 2011, 8pm show, 7pm doors
As one of the biggest breakout surprises of last summer's Folks Festival (earning a main stage encore and a raucous capacity crowd for their Wildflower workshop), we couldn't wait to welcome back the musically playful quartet to Planet Bluegrass... Informed by 60s vocal groups like Simon & Garfunkel and The Mamas and the Papas, and infused with years of classical and jazz training, Girlyman's songs are a dance of melody and suspensions - an irresistible blend of acoustic, Americana, and rock The Village Voice calls "really good, really unexpected, and really different." Most recently, Girlyman has been collaborating with comedian Margaret Cho, who describes the band: "They seamlessly blend folk, country, pop, and rock, and they genre bend as fearlessly and flawlessly as they gender-bend. It's the music of my heart and soul. Girlyman is the future and the past and the present."
EllisFolk singer, dharma teacher, comedienne...
Friday, April 15, 2011, 8pm show, 7pm doors
Ellis may not be a household name, but once you've seen her perform you're not likely to forget her. A mix of folk artist, dharma teacher, and comedienne, her music is best described by the effect it has on her audience rather than a particular genre. Simply put, she leaves audiences better than she finds them, with softened edges & opened hearts. With compelling songwriting and engaging performances, Ellis is quietly amassing a loyal following of supporters across the country.
