In 2025 Queer Joy was Revolutionary. Let’s keep it going in 2026! This film was inspired by a real life awkward encounter and went through many phases; a passion project driven by friends, a living room assembly cut to a final polished piece seen by sold out audiences around the world, “Girlfriend Girlfriend” showed us queer joy is real. We cannot thank the programmers, festival directors, festival staff, photographers, crew, theater staff enough for believing in and sharing “Girlfriend Girlfriend” with the viewers it was made for. Our gratitude is endless. In 2026 we can’t wait to continue to share the message of equality, empowerment, and hope through humor with more! Also, we can’t wait to share our next installment to come. Queer Joy filled 2026 here we come! In much gratitude - Team GFGF/Wife Wife 📸: Newfest 🙏 @mettieostrowski 📸: Frameline 🙏 @barakshramaphotography

Happy 1 elopementversy to my person @existentialdancepartyyy . Grateful that we could celebrate last week by creating some movie magic with our incredible friends, that’s what everyone does right? Directing in a wedding dress and being in front of the camera was new, but couldn’t have felt in better hands with my dream team. “Wife Wife” coming soon. @gfgf_a_very_queer_film Part II, you asked, we listened. Get ready for a Queer Joy filled new year. BTS 📸: @throughtheblues 🙏 Last 📸: @shellyandthesnaps 🙏 thanks for being there with us on our special desert day.

Reflecting on 2025: Apart from the times when I was discovering new dimensions of pain, this year was pretty good!! That’s primarily owed to the amazing people in my life and the love, support, and opportunities that they’ve shown me– far beyond anything I could have expected. I can only fit 20 photos here, and I can only do 20 tags, so I’m sorry if I missed you! If we didn’t get to take a photo together this year, let’s make it happen in ‘26! 💖💖 I didn’t get to tag you: @raia_michaela (5 🎸) @beth_amber_ (13 💋) @danikhanunez @lexorcist__ @terminal_a (19 🎨) and @_bvffalo_ (20 🪩) The music I selected as a soundtrack: @propermondaynumber “Gluten Free (GF)” from my favorite release of the year, “Deep clean your house EP” reminding us that our friends are still our friends, even when circumstances can feel debilitating. “Hold on to the fact that they love me. They haven’t left; no desertion! Just communication is sometimes hard.” There’s so much work to do, collectively and personally, but we’re truly connected under all of it, and we’re on our way. 🫶🖤💪🖤✊🖤🤘

As we enter our 40th year we wanted to share the great work we’ve been doing from wellness and mental health to social connectivity and harm reduction. Being Alive has persisted for 4 decades and will persists for more decades to come. If you’re planning on donating this #givingtuesday consider donating to us by following the link in the bio.

Snip Snip “Girlfriend Girlfriend” is having its East Coast Premiere at NEWFEST on Saturday October 11th as a part of Dyke Nyte! Thank you Newfest! The Team of @gfgf are beyond honored to screen at this year’s Newfest Film Festival alongside inspiring queer films and their incredible creators. We started this journey over a year ago, filming this passion project whenever we all could get together, usually extra motivated by another attack on our beautiful community. Now is the time for more Queer Joy and more visibility, because that is resistance! Newfest echoes the point with this year’s theme “The New York LGBTQ+ Film Festival is an Act of Rebellion”. Newfest has been a dream festival for filmmaker @seawerner , as a closeted teen, Newfest was their first internship and provided the much needed queer visibility that empowered them toward being out and embracing the queer filmmaker life! Now we can only hope GFGF can do the same, bringing some empowerment and joy to audiences. Thank you Newfest for championing queer film and queer voices, especially at a pivotal time in America and around the world. May the rich history of queer resilience and solidarity that comes from New York City and Newfest allow you to know you are not alone and we will persevere joyously! Tickets are on sale now! Please check out the link in the bio.

A behind the scenes look at the “Bed Rot” series. I couldn’t have pulled this off without the help of my incredible friends. Thank you guys for not just helping me put this piece together, but giving me little reasons to start the rebuilding the motivation to get me out of my own bed rot induced creative hiatus. I couldn’t have pulled this off without all without you guys! 🍄❤️🍄 #photoshoot #photographer #portrait #bedrot #behindthescenes #photography #collaboration #art #photoart
