One of North America’s leading gay destinations, Toronto has been holding Pride observances since the ’70s. The Pride parade draws more than 1.2 million spectators and participants annually, making it one of the top such draws in the world. Before the parade, the festival will take place. The cinema is located in the Church & Wellesley area, where all of the Pride Events take place.

Program Benefits

All submissions received industry feedback on their script. 

Every month the festival performs 1-3 scripts by professional actors and each writer is given a video of said script reading. 

All submissions must be LGBT oriented.

NOTE: This festival is still taking place each week despite the COVID-19 virus. All festival dates have been relegated to special screenings with recorded script readings performed by professional actors for the screenplays. We have already done 2 events with great success and many industry people pitching in and giving comments on the films and screenplays.

There will be a 2-3 week turnaround in your receiving your industry feedback notes.
