San Antonio QFest
We are absolutely thrilled A Moment For Love won the Lily Tomlin Memorial Best Comedy Feature Film Award at San Antonio QFest on Sunday. Phill, my partner Joe and I attended our film as the Closing Night Film with Q&A afterwards, which was followed immediately by the Awards ceremony. Bonnie Morgan was also nominated in the Best Actor category.
​
Sean P Wise President of San Antonio QFest and the Board absolutely loved our film and were thrilled for us attending the festival in person. I sent them a poster which they framed and hung on the City Base Cinema lobby. The luxurious leather recliners at our screening auditorium were dreamy, and our movie looked amazing on the big screen.
SF Queer Film Festival
