The annual festival celebrating LGBTQ+ music, film, and culture is going virtual this year.
David ArtaviaJoin Revry and Pride Media (owner of Out, The Advocate, and Pride.com) as we kick off the fifth annual music, film, and industry festival QueerX!
This year, the LGBTQ+ virtual cable TV network is celebrating National Coming Out Day with a star-studded award show that will include screenings of the category winners from the competition, musical performances, celebrity coming out stories, and the presentation of the 5th Annual Revery Visibility Awards, which honors public figures on the front lines of queer advocacy this year.
QueerX Live!, which will feature Jennifer Lopez, Angelica Ross, Carmen Carrera, Isiah Thomas, and more, will premiere this Sunday, October 11, across 250+ millions households & devices on the Revry apps, which are available in all major app stores, and on its 11 live TV channels on mainstream platforms like Samsung TV Plus, The Roku Channel, Comcast, and more.
The show, sponsored by Lexus, will also screen at a pandemic-safe, drive-in screening event, QueerX @ the Drive-In, a pop-up Drive-In in Downtown Los Angeles benefiting the community-focused non-profit, DTLA Proud, and featuring DJs, food and drink, as well as surprise guest performances.
QueerX Live! will also screen the three winners of the QueerX short film festival and will showcase performances by VINCINT, ROB.B., and the House of Balmain (the winners of season one of HBO Max's Legendary).
Other events include QueerX’s annual Powerhouse Industry Pitchfest, presented by Final Draft. On October 17, Revry is giving any creator the rare opportunity to pitch a project face-to-face with top industry producers and decision makers. Only 20 pitch slots are available with top pitches receiving the Final Draft product as prizes.
