Blood Moon's Guide to Gay & Lesbian Film (Volume Two)
Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince
Brilliant, Witty, Defiant, Proud -- an important historic archive that just happens to be a helluva lot of fun.
Here, assembled into one comprehensive volume, is a rundown of 2005's most intriguing gay, lesbian, and transgendered films, an illustrated guide that's Out, Outrageous, Provocative, and Proud. A defiant challenge to films today, it gets sweaty with gay cowboys, gay Nazis, nude marines, ballsy detectives, hit men, porn stars, and women in love...with each other. The scent of lavender, the smell of testosterone, and the aroma of velvet. IT'S ALL HERE!
"Authoritative, exhaustive, and essential, Blood Moon's Guides to Gay and Lesbian Film (Volumes One and Two) are the queer girl's and queer boy's one-stop resource for what to add to their feature-film queue. The film synopses and the snippets of critic's reviews are reason enough to keep this annual compendium of cinematic information close to the DVD player. But the extras--including The Blood Moon Awards and commentary on queer short films--are butter on the popcorn. BOOKS TO WATCH OUT FOR
"These 500-page compilations of everything that's fabu in recent GLBT films are essential guides for both the casual viewer and the hard-core movie-watching homo. They're comprehensive and entertaining, with introductions that announce THE BLOOD MOON AWARDS. (They call them "The Bloody Moons"). BAY WINDOWS (Boston)
"Something that's a lot of fun are both volumes of Blood Moon's Guide to Gay and Lesbian Film. It's like having access to a feverishly compiled queer film fan's private scrapbook. It's valuable and an lot of fun, and, like screen representations of us, it verges wildly between tribute and titillation. GAY TIMES (London)

Blood Moon Releases History's First Cinematic Overview of "Gay Life in New York's Forgotten Outer Borough" as its contribution to PRIDE 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEBlood Moon Productions, a Staten Island-based publishing enterprise that focuses on celebrity biographies and film guides, proudly announces the release of a 27-minute documentary and infomercial it filmed at the June 4, 2011 celebration of Gay Pride in Staten Island. To see the film, click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN00Mw9wQ6E
The project was conceived, scripted, and narrated by Blood Moon's president and founder, Danforth Prince, who was designated in early June as 2011's PUBLISHER OF THE YEAR by the directors of THE BEACH BOOK FESTIVAL, an association of literary critics and booksellers from coastal communities across America.
As stated by Prince, "Blood Moon already has a history of crafting videotaped infomercials and documentaries as a means of advancing public recognition of its literary products. As such, we were intrigued by the cinematic possibilities of a street celebration that included aspects of both a trade fair and a social revolution. And how else could someone not physically present watch an articulate interaction between the Unitarian Church, the winner of the 'Miss New York' beauty pageant, and Dykes on Bikes?"
"Staten Island is the least visible and perhaps the most conservative borough within the otherwise liberal mass of New York City," Prince continued. "But based on this month's battle for marriage equality in New York State, and the extroverted passions of the island's gays and lesbians, this film has implications that go way beyond the borough."
"Insofar as we know," Prince continued, "no one else has ever attempted a coherent cinematic overview of Staten Island's gay subculture. And it was the clearly expressed passion and politicized fervor of the people we interviewed that became the most surprising and most gratifying part about making this film."
Blood Moon's GAY LIFE IN NEW YORK'S FORGOTTEN OUTER BOROUGH supplements other infomercials it will release this month, including BOOK EXPO 2011, BLOOD MOON'S VIEW FROM THE FLOOR. A 60-minute documentary filmed in May, 2011 at the world's largest literary marketplace, BOOK EXPO AMERICA, it's the newest installment in a series of lessons about how a small press or an author can navigate the shark-infested waters of the book trades.
During the crafting of both of these films, Blood Moon was assisted in the direction, editing, and camera work by Polish-born cinematographer PIOTR KAJSTURA, winner of several awards and grants from, among others, the Tourism Board of South Carolina.

On Friday, March 4, the Awards Committee of the LOS ANGELES BOOK FESTIVAL awarded two Honorable Mentions to Blood Moon Productions for titles released in 2010.
In preparation for this event, Danforth Prince, Blood Moon's president, assembled a Hollywood-based film crew, as directed by the distinguished Independent Filmmaker MS. CRYSTAL CALLAHAN, to videotape the event. Conducted with fanfare from within Hollywood's historic Roosevelt Hotel, the awards ceremony attracted about a thousand distinguished members of L.A.'s publishing and film communities. Blood Moon plans a release of this video, without charge, as part of its ongoing roster of sales promotions, in about two weeks.
As stated by Danforth, "Blood Moon's corporate mission involves the publication of carefully researched new insights into the entertainment industry. The fact that these book awards originate from a panel of judges based in Los Angeles makes them particularly valued and appreciated. We are genuinely honored with these awards, and we thank everyone associated with this event tonight."
