US; NYC: Trans/Drag Ball Film To Screen on World AIDS Day

Heavenly Angel Octavia St. Laurent in 2003. Ph: Wolfgang Busch.

NB: "How Do I Look" is considered by many to be the "sequel" to the
legendary Trans/Drag Ball Film, "Paris Is Burning."

From the director:

Dear Friends,

I am happy to announce that my first
documentary, How Do I Look, which is
about all the wonderful talent in the Harlem
"Ball" community, will be screened during
the African Diaspora Film Festival on
December 1 in New York City . Kevin Omni,
one of the assistant directors for How Do I Look,
will appear with me after the screening for a
special Q&A session.

If you would like to join us to celebrate the
talent of the artists in our community,
I invite you to come to the screening.
Here are the details:

Riverside Theatre
91 Claremont Avenue
(at West 120th Street )
New York City
Tel: (212) 870-6784
Date: Saturday, December 1, 2007
Time: 8:00 pm
Tickets: $10

I hope you will join us for Q's & A's as we
spread awareness and hope and please tell a friend.
Because of coincidence, the screening of
my film is scheduled to take place on
World AIDS Day. When I realized this,
I was grateful, because my film contains
positive messages that counteract so much
negativity and guilt associated with HIV
and AIDS. One of the highlights of my film
is when I interviewed Luna Khan and Octavia St. Laurent.
Both were courageous to speak out about HIV
issues that face the "Ball" community.

This educational and entertaining film, now
available on DVD, also explores the history of
the "Vogue" dance style with acclaimed
dancers Willi Ninja, Jose Xtravaganza
and Andre Givenchy.

The famed columnist Michael Musto
& Kevin Aviance are making a
special appearance in the documentary. `

Music by Harmonica SunBeam, Tori Fixx,
Deadlee. Poems by Octavia St. Laurent and EmanueL Xavier .

Artistically yours,

Wolfgang Busch
Director of How Do I Look
