Thousands of LGBTQ+ people, from every corner of the world, traveled to Vancouver in 1990 to participate in the Gay Games. Each person carried in their heart their own story of how they came to be themselves. The Truth About a Girl is the story of four gays and lesbians, who each find themselves embracing a community of Pride they didn't know existed. The Truth About a Girl is grittier and more intense that the gay classic, Tales of the City -- but it too chronicles the triumph of the LGBTQ+ community -- reimagining the world by speaking their truth. Advance Praise: The Truth About a Girl is such a good story. Full stop! Scooter is a wonderfully sympathetic character -- quick witted and feisty! --- K.M.The Truth About a Girl is a beautiful character study of four courageous people. It is so well done! -- L.M.

Flight Patterns brings to life the gutsy, funny and supremely stubborn women who set their sights on becoming WASPs during WWII. The Women's Air Service Pilots was the brainchild of flying ace, Jacquie Cochran, who believed women pilots would be essential to the war effort. All Jackie asked was that they turn their own lives upside down, abandon their homes and loved ones - and learn to fly the Army way. Lila, Jinx, Dodie, Patty-Yin Lee, Miriam and Lauren, although fictional, bear the stamp of Jackie Cochran's dream for women pilots to not just reach for the sky, but to fly in it too. They are the kind of women who lead with their chins. The kind of women who won't let parents or teachers or boyfriends tell them what they can and cannot do. Women like you!
