Performing their drag double act in the corner of a tiny bar, Chrissy (Wyatt Fenner) and Judy sing Peggy Lee’s Ain’t We Got Fun. It’s a choice which, in many ways, reflects the nature of their relationship. They have been living in the meantime, in between time, and Judy is happy with that, but his constant preoccupation with the moment means that he hasn’t noticed his longstanding best friend drifting away. They’ve told each other that if they’re still single when they hit 40 – God forbid! – then they’ll get married, but now Chrissy plans to move to Pennsylvania to settle down with new boyfriend Shawn (Kiyon Spencer), and Judy’s heart is about to break.
Is this romance? Not really. There’s an element of attraction, wistful thoughts of what might have been, but the deep love between them is of a different kind.

Even if you didn’t know Todd Flaherty had produced, written, directed, and edited “Chrissy Judy” himself, you could tell from his performance that this is quite a self-driven endeavor. More passion than vanity project, Flaherty has clearly bet on himself here. And it mostly pays off in what is an unassuming story about the falling out between a pair of “good Judys” — that’s short for best gay friends — that brims with the kind of belabored authenticity that belies a desire to showcase Flaherty’s ambitions as an actor, yes, but also as a budding multi-hyphenate.
The title for Flaherty’s film refers to the twinned friends at the heart of this tale: but where James aka Judy (Flaherty) has a knack for self-delusion he hopes will fuel him into a version of his life where he’ll find stardom as one half of a drag duo, Chrissy (Wyatt Fenner) is,...

"I don't really want a boyfriend right now, you know? What I want is to be alone... with someone." Dark Star Pictures has revealed an official trailer for Chrissy Judy, an LGBTQ indie comedy presented in black & white. The film premiered at the 2022 Provincetown Film Festival last summer, before OutFest, NewFest, Hamptons Iff and over 20 more festivals worldwide - ready to open in the US this week on VOD and in art house theaters.

The dark comedy asks "what do you do when your chosen family no longer chooses you?...

While Outfest has expanded its events to include exciting year-round programming supporting a variety of LGBTQ+ filmmakers, its flagship event will always be the summer film festival.
Based in Los Angeles, Outfest is one of the first pipelines into the industry for many queer filmmakers and talent, and it’s known as a friendly launching pad for those just starting out.
This year, the festival has attracted some of the biggest names in LGBTQ film, opening with Billy Porter’s directorial debut “Anything’s Possible” and celebrating the 20th anniversary of Todd Haynes’ Sirkian masterpiece “Far From Heaven” with a 35mm screening with Haynes, Julianne Moore, and Christine Vachon in attendance.

Going through three lead actors on a five-week run of “Slipping” was a crash introduction to Los Angeles for Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, according to Artistic Director David Van Asselt. The New York–based company’s inaugural L.A. production saw Seth Numrich, Wyatt Fenner, and understudy Brett Donaldson take the role of Eli in Daniel Talbott’s play, which is about a Bay Area high school student who relocates to Iowa with his English-professor mother and falls for one of his classmates. Juggling the three lead actors’ schedules caused the play to open a week later than planned in April for its limited engagement at the Lillian Theatre. The company expected that the L.A. staging wouldn’t be easy, Van Asselt said. “We had some snafus with actors’ schedules, but I think that’s probably pretty common out there in L.A.,” he said. “We also work around actors’ schedules in New York,...
