CGiii Comment

According to this film...nowhere else in the world produces LGBT cinema...apart from America!

What a load of tosh...

It really does highlight [exactly] what is wrong with the LGBT film industry...too many sub-standard [LGBT] films are being made...and, too many people who think they can make films...can't!

This film centres itself around the making of 'Kiss Me Kill Me' - that just about says it all!

Reinventing the Reel gives an overview of the Hollywood treatment of LGBT portrayals in film, how it has changed, and why is important to continue to change. This brief history is followed by an inside look into independent filmmakers in their process of breaking the chain of that negative history on a smaller scale (with the help of tools like crowd funding). They create films, in part, hoping that one day it will be more common in bigger Hollywood films to see more characters that happen to be gay rather than that be their reason for existing in the film's storyline.
