Tinseltown's Queer!
Vintage Episodes of the Historic 1990's Los Angeles-based Public Access TV ShowNicholas Snow produced Tinseltown’s Queer! throughout most of the 1990’s in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area on multiple public access television stations, reaching up to 600,000 households on a regular basis. These historic vintage episodes are being digitized for PromoHomo.TV’s global audience, and will ultimately be donated to a prominent LGBTQ+ Archives.
As a milestone anniversary of the taping of the first episode approached, Snow was encouraged by a friend, Lex Ortega, to have a commemorative event, which took place in Palm Springs, California, April 28th, 2023, at the Camelot Theatres, part of the Palm Springs Cultural Central. In preparation for that event, Snow accidentally (more on that later) made a documentary, Tinseltown’s Queer: 30 Years Later. Portions of the documentary were screened at the commemorative event, but then sat on the project for another year before ultimately deciding to submit it to film festivals. Ironically, the world premiere in-person screening was selected for the 2024 edition of Cinema Diverse: The Palm Springs LGBTQ Film Festival, Saturday, September 28th, at 9:30 AM.
“This isn’t THE documentary of my work,” explains Snow. It is A documentary, to raise awareness of my vast arhives and garner support to digitize ALL of it, preserve it, repurpose it, and share it with the world, while continuing to create fresh, new content along the way.”
This journey will be chronicled here.
