aGLIFF presents: DO I SOUND GAY?

aGLIFF presents: "Do I Sound Gay?" for its Austin premiere on Wed. July 15 at 7:30pm. We'd like to thank the Alamo Drafthouse Austin for helping and supporting our monthly series. If you're an aGLIFF member, we'll be having a special lottery giving away tickets to this special screening. Official Selection: Toronto International Film Festival, Frameline, and OutFest. After a break-up with his boyfriend, journalist David Thorpe embarks on a hilarious and touching journey of self-discovery, confronting his anxiety about "sounding gay." Enlisting acting coaches, linguists, friends, family, total strangers, and celebrities, he quickly learns that many people — both gay and straight — often wish for a different voice. In Thorpe's feature-length documentary debut "Do I Sound Gay?", what starts as a personal journey becomes a chance to unpack layers of cultural baggage concerning sexuality, identity, and self-esteem. Dir. David Thorpe, USA, 2014, 77 min., DCP Film Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=61&v=R21Fd8-Apf0
