May 21, 2015

Three Dollar Bill Cinema is a non-profit that has been producing the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival since 1996. The Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival has become the largest festival of its kind in the Pacific Northwest. Developmental Director Ryan Hicks tells more about Three Dollar Bill Cinema’s programs and mission to bring queer film and media to communities.

What is your film festival’s mission?

Three Dollar Bill Cinema produces, strengthens, connects and reflects diverse communities through queer film and media.

What role does your film festival play in supporting in Seattle’s film community?

The Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival provides a forum for local and emerging filmmakers to show new work that reflects the experiences of the LGBT community. We also provide fiscal sponsorship for film projects so production companies can solicit donations to fund their work.
