As a programmer, my goal is to celebrate the legacy of queer underground filmmaking both past and present. I curated and produced the contemporary short film anthologies FREE YR DICK, CYBERGRIME, DISORDERLY CONDUCT, CYBERSLIME which all premiered to sold-out screening parties at Facets and are now part of the Full Spectrum Features exhibition catalog as touring programs. I was the co-presenter (along with The Front Row) for gay pornography with the Music Box’s popular Smut Sundays series, and am an annual guest curator for the Fetish Film Forum. I am staunchly anti-censorship and have previously been embroiled in controversy surrounding the public presentation of erotic art.
