Queer Western Films
Posted on 27 August, 2021If there was a genre that can be imagined vividly with just one word, that would have to be Westerns. We hear the word and automatically think of cowboys and Indians, the wild wild west, horse treks and the open frontier, gun fights and brawls at the local saloon, and so much more. The American West certainly was iconic! In fact, IMDb defines their “Western” category as films that “contain numerous scenes and/or a narrative…

Rain Beau’s End
Posted on 21 February, 2023Back in 2021 when “Rain Beau’s End” had its premiere on Lesflicks, they asked me to write a review. Even though I watched and made my notes, life intervened.

Your Eyes On Me
Posted on 20 October, 2020It can’t be easy to release a film when half the world is in various forms of lockdown, cinemas are closed, film festivals have gone online or postponed, and no one has worked on projects for half the year. It’s even more challenging when you’re an independent film trying to make your debut like Sergei Alexander. However, despite these extra hurdles, I feel like “Your Eyes On Me” will quickly gain traction – because it…
