OutProfessionals and the Jewish Community Center sponsor screening of HOW DO I LOOK

Rare Dancing Performance by Voguing Legends


More than 10 years in the making, How Do I Look offers an intimate look inside the Balls. Downtown stars Kevin Aviance, Michael Musto and Patricia Field also dish about the scene. You'll also get the inside dirt on members of 'Houses' whose talents led them to work with superstars like Madonna, Queen Latifah, India, and fashion designer Thierry Mugler. Dancer and choreographer Jose Xtravaganza's tales of working with Madonna on the Vogue and Truth or Dare videos are especially priceless.

Activist Filmmakers meet at Out Professionals Event

'After Stonewall' screening


Out Professionals recently organized a public screening of the landmark documentary, After Stonewall, which was followed by a presentation by documentary filmmaker, John Scagliotti.


Mr. Scagliotti is the award-winning gay filmmaker/journalist, who also created the PBS series In the Life. After Stonewall is narrated by Melissa Etheridge; the film is a fascinating look at women and men who helped shape what gay America looks like -- and how the world sees us.


Pictured below (left to right) are Mr. Scagliotti and the openly-gay filmmaker and activist Wolfgang Busch. The latter, who is also an Out Professionals member, is the film series coordinator for Out Professionals.
