Outfest is excited to share our inaugural Outfest Inclusive Press Initiative cohort for the 41st Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Film Festival! After an outstanding program for our Outfest Fusion QTBIPOC Film Festival earlier this year, we are thrilled to expand our cohort to ten, welcoming back six fellows from our Outfest Fusion class and four new journalists.

Our fellows are Ose Ehianeta Arheghan, Kelsey Brown, Jireh Deng, Joey Harvey, Marcus’Anthony II, Gisselle Palomera, Kristian Fanene Schmidt, Kayla Thompson, Shahamat Mohammed Uddin, and Lindsay Lee Wallace.
