"Gay Baby" Premieres Opening Night at the FilmOut San Diego

My brother and writer/director Kevin Kelly wrote a really charming script called Gay Baby. We fell in love with it's message of tolerance while exploring the idea: What if you knew your unborn son were gay?

The short film is a fun, comedic exploration of a new father's revelation that his unborn son is gay. With the help of a gay store clerk, he realizes that his son will be no different than if he were born straight.

The film has been chosen to premiere on Opening Night of the FilmOut San Diego film festival. We are super excited for the premiere and we plan to launch a big publicity campaign for the film and its message.

Kevin is working on a full feature version too! I'm really proud of my brother and want to say that if you are in the San Diego area, please join us for the premiere: April 16, 2010 at 7:30pm at the Birch North Park Theatre, 2891 University Ave., San Diego. (filmoutsandiego.com)
