PUNKS
Anniversary Screening
Dir/Scr: Patrik-Ian Polk, 2000, USA, 104 min.
Before his hit series “Noah’s Arc,” Patrik-Ian Polk
made a splash at Outfest 2000 with his debut
feature PUNKS. Infusing its hip-hop and R&B
rhythms into a completely black gay world in West
Hollywood, PUNKS is a romantic comedy featuring
Marcus, a successful 20-something photographer
who becomes infatuated with his completely
gorgeous and supposedly straight neighbor Darby.
Full of fresh characters, snappy dialogue and great
performances, it’s a pleasure to revisit the notoften-seen
PUNKS a decade later.

WHERE’S THE MONEY?
Great question. Your script is gravy baby, now you
just need the potatoes. Come listen to a panel of
Outfest directors and producers who have found the
money to make their independent feature films and
documentaries - not once, but even twice. They will
share the paths they've taken to find financing and
get you pointed in the right direction. Come ask
questions of the people who have found the money.
Make this the year you make your film!
