FORBES – Outfest Celebrates 40 Years
““It’s not about entertainment. It’s about empowerment.” That’s the motto at Outfest, the Los Angeles-based storytelling festival which is celebrating its 40th year of showcasing queer media starting this week, with a movie premiere that proves anything’s possible.
Sunday’s big premiere is A Run For More, the story of Frankie Gonzales-Wolfe's campaign to become the first trans woman to run for city council in her hometown of San Antonio, Texas.
“It's our 40th anniversary. You know, things are supposed to be bigger, better, emotional, retrospective. And it's all of those things.”
