October 26, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, CA – October 26, 2007
The OUTer Film Festival has joined with doorQ.com to bring the best in Gay-themed Genre Entertainment (Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror) to audiences world-wide.
The OUTer Gay and Lesbian Science Fiction / Fantasy Film Festival of Austin, Texas, in its continuing mission to seek out and expose new films of science and of fantasy made by and for the GLBT community, joins with doorQ.com, the Gay Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Website, on the eve of its Halloween 2007 launch. Sharing a similar mission, doorQ.com and OUTer will now bring genre entertainment to a multitude of people and groups, in both theaters and across the World Wide Web. With this joining, OUTer and doorQ.com can now not only offer fans unprecedented access to a unique film festival but, more importantly, offer those fans that great SciFi/Fantasy/Horror entertainment “virtually”-- through computers and other media devices -- as well.
“This is one of those opportunities to really make two good things great,” Jody Wheeler, creator of doorQ.com said. “By blending experiences, histories, technologies and common interests, doorQ.com and OUTer can now increase the reach and exposure of gay-themed, genre entertainment in a way that will have the maximum impact for the majority of its fans.”
“Honestly, when The OUTer Film Festival was conceived, I felt alone in the Universe,” Timothy Caswell, founder and director of OUTer said. “I was proud to bring unique but overlooked genre film and video from around the world to Austin, through the festival. Still, too many fans were missing out on some excellent programming. By joining together with doorQ.com, that’s no longer an issue.”
The OUTer Film Festival was founded by Caswell in 2004, with a mission to enlighten, educate, enrich and entertain diverse communities about gays and lesbians, thru the genres of science fiction, fantasy and horror, by the use of the visual medias. Currently, OUTer also looks to promote and encourage filmmakers and organizations by providing a yearly festival that includes awards, cash prizes and grants. It also cross-promotes other film festivals worldwide.
doorQ.com is the first project of Door Q Entertainment, LLC, a Los Angeles based production company founded by Jody Wheeler, Daniel Greeney and James Barnett. Door Q Entertainment, LLC is focused on bringing genre entertainment to a multitude of groups by utilizing both old and new media platforms, such as Video On Demand, Web 2.0 and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV).
Given the spelling of the site’s name, and in light of the popular stereotypes for fans of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror content, the creators and participants of doorQ.com, in both jest and with pride, have taken to calling themselves “doorQs,” (dorks.)
doorQ.com goes live on Halloween 2007.
OUTer's 2007 Festival takes place November 3rd at the Austin Film Studios, 1901 East 51st Street. This year the festival is providing an Encore Exhibition of the best short films from the last 4 years.
