    Loved Wicked Queer! It was the first festival we attended with our film and remains one of our favorites! The venue (Brattle Theater) was beautiful and sold out. Most of the filmmakers were in attendance. After the Q&A, we all went to a bar together. Still keep in touch with some of them. Whole event was well-run and exciting!

    I attended the festival this year and was surprised by the number of people in the audience. The Brattle Theater is an excellent location to screen movies with a considerable amount of people attending. It is a small festivals, but worthy to attend. Also, after being selected for Wicked Queer, we received many other invitations to other film festivals.
