    Micro Queers: We Are Still Here (2015)

    We're celebrating the 10th anniversary of queer director Ted Geoghegan's feature debut, We Are Still Here (2015). This is a quiet indie film with some serious star power (Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden, Monte Markham, and Lisa Marie?!), as well as great FX. But a decade later, it's the quiet depiction of grief that we appreciate a great deal more. Questions? Comments? Snark?
