Catching Up With Jake Graf

in Entertainment & LifeStyle

The LGBT Sentinel had the pleasure of catching up with filmmaker Jake Graf- his engagement, his new projects, and what to look forward to. Congratulations on the proposal. So, can you tell us how you proposed and where? I proposed to Hannah whilst on holiday in New York two weeks ago. Hannah had always said that she’d like me to propose somewhere warm and away from London, so when we booked our annual break I started putting things in motion, finding a ring and speaking to her father, in truly traditional form!

Outfest Review: God’s Own Country

in Blog/Entertainment & LifeStyle/Weekly

Many queer stories are urban stories, examining the lives of queer people searching for community in cities around the world. Smaller towns and rural areas are often devoid of an active LGBTQ+ community, leading many people to make their way to bigger cities, where they might find community, friends, and romantic partners.
