An Evening With a Gentleman: Filmmaker Silas Howard Comes to UT

Tired of Drag Race re-runs? Yeah, so am I.

Turn the TV off, and get out of the house. Queer rockstar turned award-winning filmmaker Silas Howard will be screening some of his recent short films tonight at 7:30pm in PHR 2.114, on UT's campus.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited. Last time Howard was in town, it was for the Mighty Real Tour, where he and Lynnee Breedlove killed the audience with sad and beautiful tales of gender, love, and loss.

You know, the queer trifecta.

Seriously, though. Support queer art and come out tonight. To sweeten the deal, local queer scholar Curran Nault will moderate a discussion after the screening.
