Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a quick update as to the status of OUTrageous! After an amazing 25 years the festival will be taking a hiatus for the time being. While this means there won't be a festival this year it doesn't mean we're gone for good. We're actively exploring ways to continue as an organization and bring the best in LGBT film to the Santa Barbara area. Thank you for all the support, keep an eye on this page for any updates, and let us know if you'd like to be involved. Thanks!
