Hello, my friends. Please forgive me for my absence, but as we all know, life gets in the way sometimes. Guess that goes without saying, but I had to say it all the same. Anyway, I am glad to be returning with some truly great news.

I hope you all remember that amazing first-time trip I made to New York last year to be a part of this awesome documentary film. A recap of that trip is somewhere on the page, but what I am here to talk about today is that we made it as an official selection feature for the SOHO International Film Festival!

What’s extra wonderful about this festival is that the cast and crew, along with our super talented Emmy-winning Director, Jill Salvino, is that we get to walk the red carpet before the premiere AND we will do a question & answer panel afterward. This is yet another first for me and I am beside myself with pride, fear, excitement, and more nervous anticipation than anyone can imagine. Most of all, I am so happy to be able to be a small voice in a group outstanding people who are willing to share their stories of life and love with the world in a feature film. This is something we really need right now. More love. Overall, this is truly a dream come true.

In closing, I just want to say when all is said and done, I will be happy to share all of the events and festivities that happens around this premiere, and if you are in NYC during this festival, I would love to see some of you there. Let’s start a conversation and keep it going!

Link for tickets is just down below. Hugs & Love ~ Tracy J.

From Director Jill Salvino;

BETWEEN THE SHADES is a feature film documentary that seeks to explore the shades of being gay by exploring what connects us all: love.

Fifty people will be preselected to participate and share their stories for our film. We will conduct 16 -18 interviews per day for three days with the subjects being either single or as couples. There may be a few surprise visits and clips from some people you may already know. The participants will be given prompts such as best first date, worst kiss, craziest relationship, what people would and would not do for love, etc.

The answers to these prompts will be cut together with the intent of showing the commonality of love.

About this project:

Recently, I found myself reflecting on a flippant conversation I had about the “type of gay” a close friend of mine was. It was an innocent conversation on the diversity of our mutual gay friends. I began to wonder about all the different gay identities there are and how hard it is to define that experience.

I want to create a documentary that is accessible to all people that will shed light on the many perceptions of what it means to be gay.

Our documentary speaks to those who have found being in love easy, difficult and for some, even impossible. It is for the ones that have yet to hold a hand or experienced their first kiss.
