of these films are going to be showcased, and they deserve the exposure,” Jennifer DeClue, Fusion Pro- grammer, said. In addition, Lee Daniels (Precious, Monster’s Ball)
will present the 2012 Fusion Achievement Award to Patrik-Ian Polk (Director of Punks, Noah’s Arc), who returns to the festival with the world premiere of his third feature, The Skinny, on Saturday, March 24. In a press release Polk stated, “Outfest has been a
loving supporter of my work since my first film Punks in 2000. I’ve shown all my films there, and the amazing work they’ve done with Fusion specifically highlight- ing the work of LGBT filmmakers of color is a shining example of their commitment to promoting diversity within the genre of gay film.” This also marks the third year of the Fusion Access
L.A. program. Fusion partners with NBCUniversal to bring aspiring filmmakers in contact with industry leaders at NBCUniversal studios to inspire, educate, and mentor. On Friday, March 23 participants will take part in panels that include: Networking, Working Writers on Writing and enjoy a Power Lunch with an NBCUniversal creative executive at each table for a more personal conversation about the ins and outs of Hollywood.
