NEW YORK CITY!?? Sounds like that Pace salsa commercial...hee hee...well thanks for the reply, I forget not everyone is into horses and the like.... however, Im inclined to think that Steff Mahan may have an edge in the rodeo "arena"... and who cares anyway....good for her and good for her with QTN
Killbid... just curious..is Steff Mahan related to rodeo legend Larry Mahan? I checked out bio, but it did not mention him in conjunction with her... he was a big deal when I was growing up...everything from tack to boots to shirts..you name it....

PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF SHORT FILMS & SHORT FILM MARKET TO BE HELD
SEPTEMBER 20 - 26, 2005
Kathleen McInnis Joins Festival as Director of Short Film Programming
Palm Springs, CA (July X, 2005) - The 11th Annual Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films & Short Film Market, held from September 20-26, 2005 at the Camelot Theatres, announces that Kathleen McInnis will join the Festival as the Director of Short Film Programming this year. The largest short film festival and market in North America screens approximately 350 films from over 40 countries annually. Over the past 10 years, 46 of the short films nominated for Academy Awards have played at the Festival, with six of the nominated films screened at last year's Festival. Up 10 % from last year, setting a new record, the Festival has currently received more than 2,400 submissions.
Commenting on this year's Festival, Executive Director Darryl Macdonald said, "With the addition of Kathleen McInnis as our Director of Short Film Programming for this year's Festival, we will continue to be the premiere American venue showcasing short films and seeking out new talents and trends in filmmaking from around the world."
McInnis is a film festival veteran, independent film producer and publicist, most recently serving as Festival Director for the Slamdance Film Festival in January 2005. Previously, she was with the Seattle International Film Festival as Director of Industry Programming and Director of Publicity / Promotion. While at Seattle, McInnis co-created the Fly Filmmaking Challenge, inviting filmmakers to make a short film in one week. As a film publicist, McInnis has worked with filmmakers on their world premiere campaigns at festivals such as Sundance, Berlin and Toronto; as unit publicist, she has worked on many films, including Coastlines, Stephen King's Rose Red and Hard Candy. As producer, her short films have played around the world at festivals including Palm Springs, Sundance, Melbourne, Rotterdam, and Seattle.
This year's Festival is sure to produce similar success for the many talented filmmakers exhibiting their work at the event. The Festival will kick-off on September 20 with an opening night of award-winning films and audience favorites from a number of renowned international short film festivals, followed by a reception at Las Casuelas Terraza. The films displayed in each program will cover a wide variety of genres, ranging from gay and lesbian programs to family programs.
Panels of industry representatives will also be assembled to discuss trends and provide advice on short filmmaking. The Festival has already confirmed a special sidebar panel with Roger Gonin, organizer of the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival. Many of the top North American and European sales agents of short films, as well as agents and studios, attend the festival in search of new writers and directors each year. Over two-thirds of the films presented annually at the Festival are acquired or find sales agents.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences continues to honor the integrity of the decisions made at this Festival by making this one of the few qualifying festivals for their Best Short Film Awards. Last year's ShortFest featured the Premiere of Andrea Arnold's Wasp, which received the 2004 Best of the Festival Award and an Academy Award in the Best Live Action Short Film category. The Best Animated Short Film Academy Award winner, Ryan, also screened at the Festival and received first place in the Best Animation category. In total, 6 of last year's short film nominees were premiered or presented at the Festival.
The Palm Springs International Festival Of Short Films and Film Market will present over 350 short films on three screens with concurrent Film Market facilities featuring over 2,400 shorts, making it the largest short film festival and market in North America. The Festival offers 20 awards in ten different categories, featuring cash prizes and/or film stock. All submitted films are eligible for film market participation for no additional submission fee. Winning films in Live Action and Animation categories are automatically qualified for nomination consideration by AMPAS in the short film categories. There is also a special student film section with awards and reduced entry fees.
The Festival offers four special ticket plans. The Insider's Pass for $150/200 includes complete access to all screenings and events. A 6-Ticket Coupon Book for $45 offers six movies for the price of five. Tickets to the Opening Night Program and Party or the Awards Night Program and Reception are $25 each. Single tickets for the Festival will go on sale September 12 at the Camelot Theatres for $9 per screening before 5:00 p.m., and $10 for screenings after 5:00 p.m. Advance tickets and passes can be purchased online at www.psfilmfest.org or by calling (760) 322-2930.

Anyone seen this? AmericanPride on Q......
American Pride contestant Matt Alber
Head West Fine Queer Fellow
Interview with American Pride creator Larry Dvoskin
07.07.05
The plan seems simple enough. Take a semi-talented queer Karaoke singer, get him to sing country music, put him in boots and hat and mold him into a country music super star. Okay, so maybe it wouldn’t be easy for your average run of the mill talent scout but for Grammy-nominated producer Larry Dvoskin the task is just another day at the office.
An openly gay songwriter and producer Dvoskin and his crew have spent the last few years working on a project that is sure to be a mixture of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy and American Idol. The result is American Pride, a reality television series following the music, lives, and dreams of openly gay country artists.
Dvoskin has spent his fair share of time in the trenches of the music business penning hits for such musical greats as Jennifer Love Hewitt and the original pop-princess Brandy. His venture into his latest project came as nothing short of a dare by a fellow producer.
“David Browing, who is big in the country and Christian market, and one day we were sitting together talking about the idea that so much of music is just a recreation of ideas” explained Dvoskin. “The boy bands of the 90s were recreations of New Kids On the Block of the 80s which were a recreation of the Monkies and now we have the Strokes and the White Stripes which is nothing more than a recreation of the Clash and The Ramon’s. David, then said ‘you know something you will never see is an openly gay country star’ and I thought that would be something new.”
Dvoskin set to meet the challenge set by Browning and began his work by first placing an ad in a Nashville paper that he was seeking an openly gay country singer. It wasn’t long after the ad hit newsstands that Dvoskin received a call from a national radio news syndicated that broadcasted his audition notice all over the us the radio exposure prompted a media frenzy for the audition and then as Dvoskin explained “it was like a rock rolling up hill.”
Within days the audition hotline was initiated with over six thousand phone calls. The phone calls were only part of the phenomenon because soon Television networks began calling including MTV’s sister station VH1. Q television, a new GLBT themed TV network, recently partnerd with Dvoskin to bring the show to television audiences.
”I began to think that in order to get over the hump of resistance at Country Music Radio and Country Music Press and even at a corporate level I needed to let everyone in America know about this. I figured I could build in a public demand before there was even a product.”
Dvoskin held his first open audition in New York, he described the event as a Woodstock style spirit. ”It wasn’t competitive and it wasn’t catty and it wasn’t ego driven like a lot of these contest are. There were no judges sitting at a table and there were no numbers. People bonded while standing in line and immediately would start singing together and warm up with each other.”
Dvoskin pointed out that everyone who auditioned felt the camaraderie. He explained that unlike American Idol or Star Search where the contestants are lead through a series of humiliating exercises and audition and where the judges are like gods on a pedestal with his audition he wanted to connect with those that were audition and he feels that it was this desire that created an air of community.
”For those people auditioning, this was an extraordinary opportunity. It gave them a chance to be honest about who they really are and have a shot at being successful in an industry that is very homophobic and closed to anything with the “g” word” he said.
"There are thousands of gay country music performers, but never has a nationally recognized star been embraced by Nashville's corporate Music Row", Dvoskin says. "It's about opening the door for a new generation of fans. Music is what brings people together."
Dvoskin pointed out that his ideal candidate would be someone with an extraordinary talent, who is a great singer and can connect with people’s emotions. The candidate would also have to be someone with tremendous courage, who is both empowering and has the ability to be a role model for our culture. Ultimately, Dvoskin says, this is the music business so the candidate would have to be pleasing to the eyes “whatever that means” he adds.
The challenges laid out before this would be superstar are not small. Stepping into the last frontier so to speak of the music business, a music business that just recently backslapped country trio The Dixie Chicks for speaking out against war. Is Country Music really more open minded and ready for such and undertaking? K.d Lang attempted to pioneer the vision of Dvoskin but left country music only shortly after her coming out for a now famous career in adult contemporary music. Dvoskin explained that he feels that now more than ever Country music radio is primed and ready for its first gay superstar, but ultimately only time will tell.
