Indie queer romantic comedy The Queerdos will celebrate its world premiere at Cinema Diverse: The Palm Springs LGBTQ Film Festival, taking place September 17–27. Starring Emily Rios (Snowfall) alongside breakout newcomer Savannah Shoenecker, and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Jenifer Yeuroukis, The Queerdos is a female-driven comedy centering a socially awkward food delivery driver who faces foreclosure on her inherited Hollywood Hills home. Desperate to save it, she rents every spare inch to a colorful band of queer misfits, only to discover viral fame, unexpected romance, and the chosen family she never knew she needed.

Jenifer Yeuroukis, a filmmaker friend I’ve met about a decade ago in my hip hop classes at the former Edge Performance Art Center in Los Angeles, has just directed her first feature film The Queerdos that I executive produced. The Queerdos also marks the first feature film of the film movement Dogma LA 25 that a collective of filmmakers and I have founded. Wrapping The Queerdos, I’ve taken the opportunity to have a conversation with her.

On the brink of the re-release of Chink, the low budget thriller about the first Asian American serial killer, CHOPSO talks with producer Quentin Lee who was the brainchild behind this feature film originally released in 2013. Directed by their UCLA film school buddy Stanley Yung, Chink world premiered at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival winning Jason Tobin, who plays the titular protagonist, a Breakthrough Performance Award. Chink also won Best Thriller Feature Film at Burbank International Film Festival.
