• OutTakes presents IS IT JUST ME? September 2-3

    Co-presented by GFC and Stonewall Columbus 

    Carousel

    The story of Cyrano de Bergerac is updated for the internet age and given a same-sex spin in JC Calciano's romantic comedy about Blaine, a man who meets Xander, the man of his dreams online, only to realize he's been chatting away under the profile of Cameron, his sexy, go-go dancing roommate. Hijinks ensue as witty Blaine asks pretty Cameron to act as his romantic stand-in when the online relationship goes live with a first date.

    GFC will host two screenings of IS IT JUST ME? - Thursday, September 2 and Friday, September 3 at 8 p.m. And join us for new LGBT films the first Thursday of every month at 8 p.m. All proceeds from the screenings benefit Stonewall Columbus' mission to increase the visibility and acceptance of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community in Central Ohio.
