🎬🌈 JOHN TAYLOR IS BACK OUT IN THE GAYBORHOOD AND THIS TIME IT’S MOVIE NIGHT!

John caught up with Palm Springs’ own Jason Stuart actor, comedian, producer and longtime LGBTQ+ entertainer to talk about his busy weekend at Cinema Diverse: The Palm Springs LGBTQ+ Film Festival.

Jason stars in Red Lining, a drama set in the 1970s exploring race, housing and generational wealth through the lives of a Black family and a white family sharing the same property. The title references the historic practice of redlining, which helped segregate neighborhoods and contributed to lasting disparities in homeownership and wealth.

The film features Alexandra Paul and Lee Garlington, with Steve Campbell producing, Billy Clift as director of photography and we’re especially proud that KGAY 103.1 Palm Springs own Mitchell Battersby serves as Executive Producer! 🎥👏

🎞️ Red Lining screens Saturday night at 7:30 at Cinema Diverse.

And Jason isn’t stopping there! Look for his cameo in Some Kind of Wonderful and his role as an artistic director in Billy Clift’s Only Bears.

Plus, Jason’s mom Gloria is coming to the festival and apparently the two have already survived appearing together in an AT&T commercial. 😂

Watch John and Jason’s conversation, then come support LGBTQ+ filmmaking and storytelling right here in Palm Springs! 🏳️‍🌈🎬
