Fourth Man Out
Thursday, Oct. 1 @ 7:15pm | directed by Andrew Nackman
Just like his pals, twenty-something auto mechanic Adam enjoys beer, hockey and inappropriate bodily functions. But Adam also likes guys. A hilarious mash-up of man-child and coming-out comedies, “Fourth Man Out’ examines a small-town, blue-collar guy who lets his friends know he’s gay - and what happens when they try to help him find a boyfriend. Both rudely funny and daring in its exploration of the kind of gay man we rarely see on the big screen, this bawdy, crowd-pleasing comedy features Chord Overstreet (“Glee”) and Kate Flannery (“The Office”).
Guidance
Thursday, Oct. 8 @ 8:30pm | directed by Pat Mills
You've never met a guidance counselor like David Gold (writer-director-star Pat Mills), whose tequila-centered coping mechanisms raise fellow teachers' eyebrows even as he becomes a dark-horse favorite amongst the high school's angsty student populace. Plagued by his past career as a child actor and in denial of his current health issues (and sexual orientation), David takes on the monumental task of solving teenagers' problems with an unapologetically blunt, fun-loving attitude. Marked by razor-sharp writing and pitch-black humor, Mills's gleefully inappropriate comedy balances outrageousness with a hard look at the path toward self- acceptance.
Web is the New Black
Wallflowers | Where the Bears Are | Three | Ze Said She Said
Saturday, Oct. 3rd @ 12pm
Scott Turner Schofield and Jessica Lynn Johnson star in "Ze Said She Said"

Out on Film showcases four web series in the program Web is the New Black, and you can see them all for 20% off the regular ticket price.

Out On Film kicks off an 8-day celebration this Thursday!
Out On Film will be kicking off their 27th annual festival this Thursday, October 2nd at Landmark Midtown Art Cinema.
The city is about to get very colorful, and not only because it is fall. Atlanta Pride festivities kick off this month with parades, festivals, and events galore to celebrate. But the most exciting event for us here at the Atlanta Film Festival will be Out On Film, Atlanta’s annual LGBT film festival. Going on their 27th year, Out On Film offers a wonderfully diverse program filled with features, shorts, documentaries, music videos, animation, and experimental films made by local and international filmmakers.
Out On Film will be kicking off their festival this Thursday, October 2nd at Landmark Midtown Art Cinema. The opening night film, “Blackbird,” features Oscar-winning actress Mo’Nique. The film will be followed by a Q&A session and after-party with cast and crew.
Last year, the festival reached its highest attendance, a goal they hope to top this year. Exciting works by Antonio Da Silva, RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Tammie Brown, and local filmmakers Julian Modugno and Eddie Ray are sure to help draw more attendees.
The Legendary Children
This year, Out On Film is especially proud to include many works made by southern filmmakers. One particular event exemplifying this accomplishment is FOR FILTH!, a unique program showcasing short films by mostly local filmmakers and followed by drag performances by the Atlanta-based drag troupe, The Legendary Children.
This is something that should not be missed. The festival will last 8 days and finish up on October 9th, preceding Atlanta Pride on October 11th.
