<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica;">PLAY IN THE GRAY
premiered at the 34th Annual Atlanta Film Festival, and went on to
screen in Lynchburg, VA and the Colorado Springs Indie Spirit Film
Festival. Each stop included dialogues with local youth groups. PLAY IN
THE GRAY aims to reach more families, faith communities, community
groups, and universities around the world. Next the film hits the
Seattle True Independent Film Festival where it has been awarded “Most
Eye Opening” prize.</span><span
style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: ArialMT;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica;">People from all walks
of life in New England traveled to see PLAY IN THE GRAY’S first
sold-out Boston screening. The diverse crowds at each screening
transcend generation gaps. People obsessed with gender sit next to
others who’ve rarely considered it. Laughter brings them together,
which is exactly what Director Kaitlin Meelia hoped would happen.</span><span
style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: ArialMT;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica;">“I was looking for an
accessible story about gender and sexuality,” says Meelia, a first time
director. “ATKM performed at a bar near my house. Their show was so
entertaining and thought-provoking I approached them about shooting.
That’s how PLAY IN THE GRAY started.”</span><span
style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: ArialMT;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica;">Meelia went on to
hire an all-Boston crew to capture what happens backstage and at home
with the troupe. PLAY IN THE GRAY takes viewers to meet ATKM’s New
England families, learn about their struggles, and hear what motivates
their performances, as their career blossoms. Harnessing personal
stories of gender and sexuality, PLAY IN THE GRAY undeniably portrays
what’s human about the national controversy of equal rights for LGBT
people.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: ArialMT;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13pt;"><span
style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: Helvetica;">“PLAY IN THE GRAY is
a film for all audiences, a film that explodes myths about gender
identity while empowering viewers to embrace their own individuality,”
says Cheryl Eagan-Donovan of Controversy Films, former President of
WIFV/NE. “(WIFV/NE) is proud to support this important, ground-breaking
film and its message of equal opportunity for all artists.”</span><span
