The QueerCentric is exactly what the LGBTQ+ community needs, according to Producer and Host Jonathan Shuffield.
We grabbed a few minutes during the release of his body positivity holiday campaign which kicked off on December 12th, to get a peek into his thoughts about why we need it!
I asked Jonathan why another podcast is needed, and he said: “because the more queer voices and the louder we raise those voices, the better! In a world hellbent on erasing us, we MUST speak and NOT just for the version that settles better in middle America, but for all of us. Every body type, no matter how we identify ourselves, every letter of our queer alphabet and beyond!”
Jonathan went on to say, “Representation matters! Media has finally begun to show queer people in the tapestry they portray as life, but we still have a way to go. The QueerCentric stands to offer a voice to the rest of us, to represent a queer world not so homogenized. We do not want to take away from the version of us that is currently allowed the spotlight, we simply want to add to it. Instead of waiting for permission, we choose to boldly move forward creating our own path. We celebrate all of us, the rest of us…. because there is room for everyone. Sometimes you just have to make the room yourself. This show is about real people, real community members talking about the things they care about. You don’t have to be a celebrity to be heard, but you can be. You don’t have to be a politician to affect change, but you can be that too. Every walk of life, every human being deserves a voice and when they sit down with me, they get just that. Entertaining and frivolous at one point to serious and informative at the other. It’s time to stand up and be counted as the authentic human beings we all are”.

Plot: “New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor break one of the most important stories in a generation – a story that helped ignite a movement and shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood.” -IMDB 
Films such as this all share the same monumental challenge. We as the audience know how this story will end. As filmmakers, how do you pull back the curtain compellingly that stays truthful to the process, honors those doing the work, injects enough drama to keep people hooked, and tells an honest story? 
Plot: “Two lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for both of them.” 
In this film, it does not take us long to uncover the reason Colm is no longer interested in a friendship with Padraic. Colm is doing what we all do in our lives. We become fixated on the little time we have left on Earth. Looking around, we attempt to measure our legacy and what we will leave behind. For Colm, after this introspection, he makes the tough decision to part ways with anything that is not bringing his life value or contributing to the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

Tom Goss’ hope is that Big Fat Gay Ass Christmas makes people laugh and smile, then strip down to their undies and dance. “That’s the Christmas I’m most looking forward to this year!” We sat down with him in his Los Angeles home.
Plot: “A Hollywood studio executive is being sent death threats by a writer whose script he rejected, but which one?” -IMDB 
Beyond the business of making movies, this is also a mystery. See, a disgruntled writer is sending Griffin threatening and ominous postcards. Why? Because Griffin promised him or her, he would get back to them on a pitch and never did. This plot coupled with this film’s examination of what it takes to make motion pictures move together in a delicate dance that is both hilarious and fascinating.
