It has a lot of entities, off-shoots and expansions, but the company’s foundation was planted in Philly 30 years ago! And original partners – Raymond Murray, Claire Kohler and Eric Moore are still going strong!
Last Saturday (July 9th) while filmmakers were here for QFest,
TLA hosted a party in the offices on 234 Market Street in Olde City.
Here’s some photos & video:
Group Shot with Ray Murray, Derek Curl, Thom Cardwell, Scud and Cast
Griffen Affel, VP of Sales for TLA Releasing and Print Traffic Manager for QFest w/ his girlfriend, Daylen and Ryan Suits, Creative Production Specialist at TLA Releasing
Carol Coombes, QFest Managing Director with her partner Raquel
TLA Releasing (QFEST SPONSORS) staff: KellyBurkhardt, Derek Curl & Amanda Rae Simon wishing TLA Happy 30th, discussing TLA Releasing’s mission and their love & support of LGBTQ cinema.
Below is guerrilla type media posting – ideally, I’d like to synch the video of the TLA memorabilia with the audio of Claire’s interview on the Marilyn Russell Show (95 Ben FM), in which she goes over the entire history of how TLA came to be.
Unfortunately, although I’m an old hand at blog writing, I’m a novice at blog media (need editing app) So, here are the two things separately. I’m sure some of the talented TLA staff can put it together for me.
