Queer Friendship is Complicated in "Lakeview" (2024)
Tara Thorne’s film is equal parts emotional and comedic, illustrating the beauty and the pain of long term relationships.

Kördelux has been given the opportunity to perform in concert with some of the finest musicians in Sweden, Svenska Kammarorkestern (Swedish Chamber Orchestra). It's a musical feast, where the choir's unique energy and the professionalism of the orchestra is joined together. The journey towards Kördelux is framed by a pandemic with harsh effects and a political investigation that threatens the professional future of the choir. Has two years of quarantine changed too much or can the choir find their way back to what made them succesful? Have Svenska Kammerorkerstern even understood what they are getting themselves into or is the gap between the two worlds too big?

I have talked with founder of Red Nation Television Network, Joanelle Romero, and the future of Indigenous representation looks bright.
Asha, the main character, is a biracial woman who discovers the power of magic wishing dust.
The differences in these films could not be more blatant, and yet Gus Van Sant has found a way to portray the same messages and use the same techniques in each.
Striving for validation. Let’s be frank….we ALL want to be successful. Whatever we put our efforts into, ideally it is to make it culminate in the best possible results across the board, especially when it comes to what career path we are pursuing. We WANT to excel, to shine, to advance, to be acknowledged. AND…let’s hope that we also wish to better everyone around us to boot. However, what occurs when those whom we initially put our trust in suddenly become a burden instead of a boon? Do we falter under the weight of rejection? Or STAND UP for WHO WE ARE?
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
