Salaam Bombay! Pecah Lobang (Busted) screening on April 24

Pecah Lobang (Busted) is back in India. This time, it’s screening at the Kashish film festival in Mumbai next Saturday, April 24. And man, am I excited to be back in my favorite city in Hindustan.
I’m guessing that several short films will be screened back to back from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. And that [...]

Pecah Lobang (Busted) in Eastern Europe

I forgot to post that after the 2009 Nigah Fesitval in Delhi, Pecah Lobang (Busted) headed to Vienna’s This Human World Film Festival and Prague’s Mezipatra Festival.

I still can’t believe it’s screening at The Nigah QueerFest this Saturday. The documentary has been traveling to different parts of the world in the past year, but I haven’t been able to attend any of the screenings, with the exception of San Francisco, because they were all [...]

Happiness! Pecah Lobang (Busted) screened during Pride Week

This post is way overdue. It’s been a little over a month since the screening of “Pecah Lobang (Busted)” at the San Francisco Frameline Film Festival late June. But better late than never.
Was a little nervous that there would be a low turnout because the festival committee had slotted my documentary mid-day, mid-week. Bahhhh, I [...]

In mid-December last year, I packed my life in two suitcases (once again) and headed west of Southeast Asia to New Delhi. [...]

Audience at Pecah Lobang and LGBT film screenings in Johor adopt negative stance

I couldn’t make it for the “Pecah Lobang” screening in Johor Bahru.
Friends from Komas said there was a heated discussion after.
Here’s an excerpt from a post on Yawning Bread about how the audience at the Freedom Film Fest responded to the LGBT films, including “Pecah Lobang”:
