After spending the long weekend hiking around the gorgeous national parks in Utah (Zion and Bryce were the highlights!) I'm now in St. George, UT, where the town is gearing up for the DOCUTAH Southern Utah International Documentary Film Festival.

I learned this week that the Southern Utah International Documentary Film Festival DOCUTAH sponsored a special screening of Time Dances On in St. George, UT on June 26th to celebrate the supreme court's decisions on the constitutionality of DOMA.
The documentary about my dad's journey to coming out as a gay man was screened at the 2012 DOCUTAH film festival, and I was so happy to learn that the festival is still using the film to raise awareness about and acceptance of untraditional families. I'm also very excited to meet the festival's organizers and thank them for their hard work this fall, when I head to St. George to participate in filmmaker events surrounding the screening of A Space for Music, A Seat for Everyone on September 4, 2013 at the 2013 DOCUTAH festival! The St. George News wrote a lovely article on the June 26th screening, including event attendees responses to the supreme court ruling. The full text from the article continues after the break:
