When I learned Judas Kiss would be screening at the Brattle Theater in the historic Harvard Square in Cambridge for the Boston LGBT Film Festival, my heart did a little jump.

I went to graduate school in Portland, Maine, and Boston — Cambridge, especially — was my refuge: That place when I needed to get away (only a two-hour drive from Maine) and immerse myself in movies, books, comics, good food and loads of interesting people.

I’ve seen films at the Brattle before, and indeed it’s been playing movies pretty continuously since 1953. It shows the best in classic, cutting-edge, foreign, and art-house films. And now it’s about to show Judas Kiss.

If you told me almost 20 years ago that a feature film I’d made — that I’d made a feature film at all! — would be playing in this famous theater just spitting distance from Harvard, I might’ve smacked you in the face. I do that. Ask J.T.

Yet here we are.

I hope to be able to be there for the screening. And I hope our supporters flock to our Northeast premiere.
